Do Different Generations Balance Family and Work Differently?Dec 20, 201714mGuest: Misty Bennett, PhD, Assistant Professor of Human Resources and Organizational Behavior, Central Michigan University Which comes first: work or family? Common stereotypes would say “Millennials” place a higher priority on personal and family activities while their hard-working “Baby Boomer” parents or grandparents tend to see company loyalty as very important.  But, a team at Central Michigan University finds Millennials are a lot more willing than you might think to put work at their center of their lives.

Did he have a happy childhood? Nearly a century ago, a reporter named Sarah Addington decided to plug the gaps in our knowledge of Santa, with her illustrated children’s book called “The Boy Who Lived in Pudding Lane.” The boy is Santa.

The Nutcracker's Origins in American Christmas Tradition
The Nutcracker's Origins in American Christmas TraditionDec 20, 201721mGuest: Adam Sklute, Artistic Director, Ballet West  “The Nutcracker” ballet is an international holiday tradition. But the US version of it has its roots in Utah, with the founder of Ballet West, who staged the first full-length production of it in America back in 1944. To this day, much of Ballet West’s Nutcracker bear the marks of that original choreographer – Mr. C., as he’s known. Until this year, some of the costumes and sets dated back nearly that far, too.  Which is why it was high time for the multi-million dollar makeover Ballet West gave its Nutcracker this year.
