First, once a term used only in government and corporate settings, the word outsourcing has taken on many new meanings in the past few years. With the rise in popularity of social media, it now applies to our personal lives as well as our professional lives. Journalist and professor of sociology at University of California, Berkeley, Arlie Russell Hochschild, discusses the dangers and rewards of domestic outsourcing from personal life coaches to “wantologists” and wedding planners in her book, “The Outsourced Self.” Hochschild also tells Mike Cuthbert of Prime Time Radio how the process of hiring out the handling of minute details in our lives is changing the very nature of human relations.
Then, journalist Jaimal Yogis wanted to completely master the fear that he felt ruled his life. In the process, he plunged into great white shark-infested waters to surf deadly giant waves, moved to Hawaii with nothing but the cloths on his back, and formed some of the best relationships he’s ever known. Yogis explains to Mike Cuthbert of Prime Time Radio what his adventures in overcoming fear taught him about life, survival, and love. He also tells some of the most harrowing stories of close encounters with great whites while surfing, and interesting interviews with the people that study the science of fear in his book, “The Fear Project.”
