Maybe You Should Share Housing…

Are you finding it hard to make ends meet? Do you have empty bedrooms in your house?
Are you living in an area where affordable housing is rare or non-existent?
Are you moving to a high-rent city?
Are you often alone?
Do you find it difficult to make a social life for yourself?
Are you overwhelmed by the tasks that need to be done on a regular basis around your house?
Do you want to live in a more sustainable way?

Last month, I traveled to Cape Cod for family gathering and an interview. The Lowdown is hosted by Ira Wood on the public radio station of the Outermost Cape, Provincetown, MA – all the way at the tip of the Cape.

The interview is a full half-hour long. Having read the book,  Ira had great questions!  It was both a fun interview and thorough.  I’m posting it here for you to hear as well as on  the Radio and TV page.

It’s a big file so it takes a while to download.  Start it and walk away, go do something else. It will start on its own.

Enjoy!
