Literary Series Coming to Dorchester Center for the Arts
CAMBRIDGE — Dorchester Center for the Arts kicks off a four-part literary series on Sunday, Nov. 7, with lifelong environmentalist and author/illustrator Dana Simson.
From 3 to 5 p.m., Simson will sign and talk about her book “Come Together: Handbook to Retool for the Future.” Published by Green Writers Press, this smart action handbook is packed with accessible solutions to getting beyond plastics, fossil fuels and other harmful practices. “Come Together” addresses how to tackle areas in both your home or office to simplify, declutter and create greener, healthier spaces. The program is open to adults and youth age 6 and up.
“When one of us retools their lifestyle to live mindfully for the future, those decisions may hit a switch in the small circle of people that surround you,” Simson said. “Small actions, paired with consistent focus to avoid single-use plastics, question polar level AC in grocery stores or overconsumption of purchases to reduce piles of product piling up at the landfill are valuable steps forward. The scientist’s calculations note to avoid overstepping disastrous tipping points we need to get to zero fossil fuel use before 2030. What are we waiting for?”

Judy Diaz named new WHCP Manger; Mike Starling, Station Founder Steps Down
Cambridge community radio station WHCP-FM has named Judy Diaz as the new general manager. Diaz, who brings an impressive background in media strategy and marketing, will replace the station’s founder and long-time station manager Mike Starling, who stepped down as of November 1.
Diaz was head of audience strategy at PBS, where she launched PBS KIDS among other programs and services. She co-founded and launched her own PBS digital product, Next Avenue, and a digital platform at AARP. She also served as vice-president of marketing at POLITICO.
“We are excited and delighted to have Judy as our new station manager,” said Thomas Long, WHCP’s president and board chair. “We knew that replacing Mike Starling, a genuine visionary who built WHCP from the ground up, was not going to be easy. But we feel that Judy brings just the right blend of personality, experience, and leadership skills to take WHCP to the next level. It was actually Mike Starling who brought Judy’s name to the attention of our search committee.”
