Nick Lowe was one of the founders of the Great British rock explosion of the 1970s, writing songs like "Cruel to Be Kind and "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding." He's just released a new album of Christmas songs calledQuality Street — A Seasonal Selection For All The Family.

Since Lowe's lyrics would lead us to believe there isn't anything funny about peace, love or understanding, we'll quiz him on three hilarious instances of human kindness.

F2Fsection.png (1640x924, AR: 1.774891774891775)A Unique Radio CollaborationEarly in 2022 we embarked on an experiment to connect CAI, located in Falmouth, Massachusetts, with SourceFM, a radio station in Falmouth, UK. But the mission was even broader: to connect listeners on Cape Cod, USA, with listeners in Cornwall, England.On this page you'll find the hour-long episodes of this experimental collaboration. Each is focused on the voices of individual people speaking to each other directly, across the Atlantic Ocean, sharing their experiences around subjects immediately important to them.We hear them talk about surviving the pandemic, addressing climate change, housing struggles, community policing, and much more. We hope you'll explore the stories here and enjoy the voices and what they share.And we’re looking for suggestions for future episodes! Want to join the conversation?
