According to the American Psychological Association, we’re having less and less face to face of any kind with each other. According to the smart guys in the white lab coats, it’s not just that we’re having less throbbing and general sexiness. They say loneliness and feelings of isolation have now become as big a problem as obesity. And excuse the pun, but obesity is a big problem. Today’s podcast has some stats that say almost 50% of the households in Manhattan and a couple of other cities in America are one person households. Solo heart throbbing isn’t much fun. One of the main reasons I do this podcast, is that the sound of a human voice is at least a small substitute for having some flesh and blood company when you’re lonely. That’s the same reason I always liked being on the air at night. I liked being…company. I liked…connecting.
