On today's episode we discuss the concept of "third places" with Dr. Richard Kyte, author of the forthcoming book Finding Your Third Place: Building Happier Communities (and Making Great Friends Along the Way). What is a "third place"? According to Dr. Kyte: "Your first place is home, your second place is work, and your third place is where you go to socialize. As more of our lives are spent online and in digital spaces, these often overlooked "Third Places" play a crucial role in keeping our communities vibrant."
Join me for a fascinating conversation with a longtime leader in higher education and civic life here in western Wisconsin for a discussion of why third places are important, how they have become harder to find, and how to remedy this in our lives and communities. We also discuss the state of liberal arts education, the ways in which college campus can facilitate vibrant community life among students, and what role microcolleges might play in all of this.
