Softpower/fulstories is a highlight of my 80th year

Instead of having a decade party as I did when I turned 40, 50, 60, and 70, I felt more like quiet contemplation this year when I turned 80, so I decided to reflect on people and entities that had enhanced my life and 2025, when I turned 80, and thank those involved. Chris Wurst, the creator of SoftPower/fulStories, comes to mind. This podcast is a gift to every American who wants to feel connected to the rest of the world. It's an eloquent, compelling plea for international relations to create a better world, artfully produced with really great story-tellers. Thank you, Chris Wurst, and thank you, those of you who've told your stories in such a gripping, compassionate, and life-affirming way. I should add that this is for people of ALL ages! You don't have to wait until you're an octogenarian.
