This show originally aired on October 7, 2017.

This week on Sound Effect, stories of better late than never. We open the show by meeting a man who started teaching Pilates in his late seventies. Next, we talk to a woman who has decided to freeze her eggs in an effort to be able to have kids down the road. Then 88-5’s Ashley Gross introduces us to a woman who overcame her fear of the water later in life. Also, Sound Effect’s Jennifer Wing profiles a man who saved some very special boats from a restaurant 30 years after first seeing them. We’ll also talk to Dr. Caprice Hollins, who teaches workshops that help people confront their prejudices, even when they’ve been unaware of them. And finally, we head to Centralia where they are trying to get more widespread recognition for their founder.

Sound Effect is your weekly tour of ideas, inspired by the place we live. The show is hosted by KNKX's Gabriel Spitzer
