Monday’s programs on WNHH take another stab at making sense of the election, dig into the fascinating world of emotional intelligence, and get poetic.
“Tom Ficklin Show” host Tom Ficklin talks to Dena Simmons, Director of Implementation at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, about how her work as an educator, teacher educator, diversity trainer, and curriculum developer has affected her current stance on Emotional Intelligence and coaching initiatives at the CEI, and how she thinks folks can and will process information in the wake of the 2016 election.

On “Valley Navel Gazing,” hosts Eugene Driscoll and Ethan Fry dive into a flummoxing fact: Donald Trump won every town in the lower Naugatuck Valley Nov. 8, a pocket of red in an otherwise blue state. Valley voters also threw out two Democratic legislators. But the same voters also re-upped with U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. To listen to them make sense of it with Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller (a Republican who voted for Trump) and Ansonia’s Tarek Raslan (a Democrat who didn’t vote for Trump), click on or download the audio above, or check out the “Valley Navel Gazing” podcast.
On “Valley Sports Rewind,” guest Steve Reilly talks with host Mike Canicci about the tenth anniversary of the book The Fat Lady Never Sings, which told the tale of the 1992 championship Derby High School baseball team. Read more here. To listen, click on or download the audio above.
