For those of you who missed it live...
The Laids have culled from the audio archives, from the unpublished and unperformed works of our contributors, from the tupperware containers deep within ourselves to bring you stories and parts of stories that almost went untold. As we are about to graduate, and everyone seems to be looking forward, we at the village are more concerned with the things that get left behind.
In this episode, we hear from the waitressing frontlines, the neighborhoods of New Haven, the pool waters of Long Island, and the notebooks of playwrights.
Originally debuted at our first listening party on May 21, 2009.

Sometimes you don’t realize what you’re looking for has been lost until you find it right before you.
Sometimes what you think you’ve lost returns to you as a big, black bug.
The LVIS girls return to you this week (after a brief thesis-induced hiatus) with the Loss and Found episode.
Hear stories of finding and losing from the Masonic Temple in downtown Providence to Jersey, Japan, and Cape Cod!

There's always something that separates the skilled from the unskilled, the initiated from the uninitiated, the apt from the inept. Some people just seem to know the secret ingredient.
This episode, the Improvement Society brings you the story of Maria Meza, the chef at El Rancho Grande and her signature Mole, a guest appearance by golden boy Brice Peterson and a tale of mischievous microbes we love to eat.
If that isn't enough to whet your appetites, there is even a super secret surprise visit. Lets just say he made room on his world tour schedule to party with the Improvement Society.
Check out our REVAMPED website! LVISRADIO.ORG. (and tell everyone you know!)

SO IS THIS ACTUALLY THE END OF THINGS AS WE KNOW IT? In the face of apocalypto-predicaments everywhere we look, the Ladies Village Improvement Society is taking the inflated rhetoric to a whole new level.
This week, Lacy muses on the future of humanity, with some help from Charles Darwin on his 200th birthday.
Rachel looks into the mythology surrounding 2012ers, who fear the end is near.
Plus - appearances from Anthropologists Richard Gould and Stephen Houston, a poem by Robert Creeley and a story that's kind of about coming of age in the New Age, from sculptor-poet Galen Broderick!
Will we ever make it to Darwin's 250th? What will the world look like when we get there?
You can listen to this week's (or any week's) episode of LVIS, the podcast, at our website, LVISRADIO.ORG .
And make sure you are forever joined to us with a subscription through the iTunes store.
