I talk with Abbie Jefferis, the founder of ollergy, about creating supports and community for families with food allergies, and the Teal Pumpkin Project, an education campaign to give non-food treats for Halloween. Today's music plays with the theme of "treats" with songs about candy, sugar, things that taste good from the Beatles, Chaka Khan, and Vampire Weekend.
Recorded live at 99.3 FM WBTV-LP in Burlington, Vermont. See the full playlist here: http://wbtvlp.creek.fm/broadcasts/1447
