What if the secret to a more interesting life isn’t having more adventures, but recognizing the adventures already around us?
This morning on Daybreak, from The Little Station on Commercial Street, we explore G. K. Chesterton’s wonderfully funny essay, On Running After One’s Hat. From flooded London streets to runaway hats and stubborn drawers, Chesterton reminds us that even life’s small frustrations can become occasions for humor, imagination, and delight.
We’ll also celebrate the birthday of John Philip Sousa, explore the traditions of American and British music, and consider why old books, forgotten recordings, and classic radio broadcasts still deserve a place in our lives.
It’s a Friday morning conversation about imagination, history, music, and the pleasure of discovering something worth keeping.
