Thinking Liberally

Thinking Liberally for a title has obvious political overtones and implications, which might make one believe my intent is to convince the listener about a progressive point of view on an issue. However, that is not the case for here I use liberally as in free thinking: Being open to new ideas and learning. Some might be political in nature with the intent to advance that point of view on that issue. But others are about getting a deeper understanding about a topic such as the first show on living with Alzheimer’s. Thanks for listening. Your feedback is appreciated.
