Our guest this hour has been writing about technology, including the Internet, for years, and his latest book addresses what the Internet may be doing to our brains - re-mapping, re-programming, changing the way we think and learn! At our special edition of Charlotte Talks at Lenoir Rhyne University’s Visiting Writer’s Series, we meet Nicholas Carr, and talk about The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains.   This show was recorded at Lenoir Rhyne University in Hickory as part of their Visiting Writers Series.

Handel’s Messiah is one of the most popular pieces of music in the world and one which - at least in the US - has become associated with Christmas.  We’re going to dissect this great piece with a man who knew it well - the late Paul Oakley who first shared his musical expertise about The Messiah with us in 2002.  We hear that conversation again and then share a little poem that captures the spirit of Christmas:  A Cup of Christmas Tea when Charlotte Talks. Originally Aired 12/4/2002.
