Hartford's Dead Language Beer Project Hosts Unique 'Show and Tell' Event Hartford, CT – Connecticut Public's Audacious podcast recently hosted a unique community event, a 'Show and Tell,' at the Dead Language Beer Project in Hartford. Guests were invited to bring an item of personal significance and share its story. The event showcased the diverse experiences and perspectives of Connecticut residents. "People came ready and willing to share," said Chion Wolf, host of Audacious. The items brought ranged from the unusual, such as a vintage newspaper distribution machine from the University of New Haven, to the deeply personal, including a framed card from a late husband. One guest, Erin Shapland, brought a creepy mannequin she'd decorated. Another shared x-rays of a broken hand, highlighting a humorous yet poignant moment. The stories shared were a mix of humor, reflection, and heartwarming connection. The event is planned to be repeated in the coming months, demonstrating its success in fostering community engagement.
