FM #570 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 570 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Ariel Doggett. Ariel is currently the virtual programs coordinator for the Franklin Senior Center.

The recording runs about 29 minutes, so let’s listen to my conversation with Ariel on Thursday, June 17.
