Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

Talking Into Microphones- with Jace Everett & Dan Cohen
Not a "true" TIMP episode, because Dan isn't here. Jace, by popular demand*, plays the three versions of "Love Cut Me Down". From inception, to the final version on "TERRA ROSA". For the hardcore music nerd only. *Two people wanted to hear this.

Talking Into Microphones- with Jace Everett & Dan Cohen
Jace (and an off mic Dan) enjoy the pleasure of Melody Pool and her delightful father, Alby. Melody is one of Jace's "production victims" and Alby is just a victim of circumstance. Featuring dirty songs, horse apples and a new, live song, from Melody. For once, not a COMPLETE waste of time.
