So fun to share the WNIT PBS “Dinner & a Book” set with Ben Futa, founder of The Botany Shop! Ben is an IU South Bend grad, and a darn good cook! Our show about chef Erin French’s memoir, _Finding Freedom: Remaking a Life from Scratch_ drops in May 2025.

Loved learning from feminist filmmaker Therese Shechter at a tri-campus collab with Saint Mary’s College & ND. Check out the trailer for her latest documentary, _My So-Called Selfish Life_ — both funny and sharply insightful as we head toward even more pronatalist waters. myselfishlife.com
