In this episode of Tidings from Hazel Kahan, Noam Cohen, author, journalist and Wikipedia editor, takes us inside Wikipedia to show us how its articles actually come into being as a bastion of sources-based truth and bulwark against fake news, used by Google, Siri and YouTube among others to answer our questions. (Broadcast on WPKN December 8, 2021.)
Born to German Jewish refugee physicians in Lahore (now Pakistan, then British India) Hazel has lived, studied and worked in many places–India, England, Australia, Israel and the United States. She makes her home in the woods of the eastern end of Long Island, New York where she produces the art of leafages, the radio sounds of Tidings and writes about growing up Jewish in Lahore.

Leafages by Hazel Kahan are made from real leaves, vines and tendrils interwoven with calligraphy, decorative pen and ink flourishes and imaginary Latin botanical names. Leafages contain a philosophical or inspirational thought, quotation or verse from sages, poets or religious texts. Some leafages are specially created for an individual, a couple or a family with words or leaves reflecting their personal narrative. They are available on the Leafages shop on Etsy although the supply is low right now, all my energies having been absorbed by the book I’ve been writing. Do come back soon when the shop will be full of new leafage abundance or contact me.

It’s amazing that there’s actually a facts checking source out there that is reliable, dynamic and enduring (so far). I appreciate how this podcast brings words of wisdom, from the inside, to the party. 😉
