The Hustler Files Ep 86
LOVE IN A BACKPACK IS LIKE A WARM HUG
When you leave jail, there isn’t much you take with you, so to receive a backpack filled with shampoo, conditioner, socks, female hygiene items, snacks, water, and other items can feel, as one formerly incarcerated individual, like Christmas. Most ideas to help less fortunate, others, have the commonality of being hatched at a kitchen table, and LOVE In A Backpack is no different. When St. John’s Episcopal Church member, Susan Todd’s daughter, Nell, was assessing the needs of those leaving incarceration, a backpack filled with necessary items and a personalized letter of encouragement, seemed to fill the bill. Since its inception, LOVE In A Backpack has supplied over 600 backpacks to incarcerated women, leaving jail, in Western Massachusetts. According to Jenny Wildermuth, Outreach Coordinator at St. John’s, there is ALWAYS a need for more backpacks and backpack-filling events. They also encourage other churches and congregations across the US to replicate their mission of LOVE and HOPE.

Panorama — Episode 92 — Jason Allen, the “Art God”
In Panorama
Originally aired on November 16, 2024. Jason Allen created the Space Opera Theater image using artificial intelligence. It won the 2022 Colorado State Fair’s fine art competition in the digital art category. His story went “bad viral” unleashing a torrent of hate against Jason, accusing him of “stealing” artwork. But the feud failed to answer the all-important question — what is art in the 21st century?

Western Mass Business Show on 11.12.24 — Tiffany Chapman, Photographer
In The Western Mass. Business Show
Join us as we take a snapshot of Tiffany Chapman and her journey into creating her hobby into a full-time business. While it hasn’t been easy, following your heart often isn’t. After getting laid off in 2020, Tiffany decided to take the leap and start her own photography business. The road of an entrepreneur is often paved with potholes and sacrifices but also yellow bricks and rainbows. Listen in as we hear about some of both and how you might be able to help this community treasure find her own pot of gold at the end of her entrepreneurial journey. We must support one another to make this community the place that we all want to be. Thanks for listening and being a part of the magic of the WMBS.
