We examine the human voice and how we use it to communicate with each other and with a higher power through singing, chanting, and story telling. We talk to Amy Cooper from the New York Eye and Ear Infimary, Katherine Preston about her upcoming memoir Out With It: How Stuttering Helped Me Find My Voice, M. Lamar about his music and family history, and Thomas Amelio from the Open Center on mantra and chanting. |

Sophie and Fannie take a look at the things take bring people together, and keep them coming back. First we visit Esther Hadassa, a devoutly Hasidic woman who runs her own Chinese medicine clinic in Brooklyn to learn about her faith, life, and family. Then we go in the kitchen with a diverse group of immigrant women baking together at Hot Bread Kitchen. And we get a lesson in service from the homeless men cooking and breaking bread together at the New York City Rescue Mission. |
