NH Secrets Legends and Lore

About NH Secrets Legends and Lore

Welcome to the NEW HAMPSHIRE SECRETS, LEGENDS AND LORE PODCAST where twice a month we explore the world of New Hampshire that lies outside of the hard news. I’m your host, Wayne King, and I invite you to join us for an adventure that will take us on a journey together to explore those things that are unlikely to make the pages of your newspaper, the waves of your radio station or the bits and bytes of your favorite news website. Yet for many of us these stories will reveal what makes life here in the Granite State truly worth living. Together we’ll uncover some secrets, speculate on a few rumors and legends and we’ll meet the people, and a critter or two, both living and long departed who weave together the colorful tapestry of New Hampshire’s past as well as some who are helping to build our future. We’ll explore places known and unknown that you will want to add to your bucket list; We’ll laugh together, gasp together and maybe even shed a tear or two. I invite you to suggest stories that you think others will enjoy. About Wayne D. King: Wayne King is an author, artist, activist and recovering politician.

   Ep 128 Call Her Senator - Karishma Manzur Seeks the US Senate Seat from New Hampshire

   The irony of Karishma Manzur's life journey is one for the history books. Born in what would become the country of Bangladesh following a brutal war of independence in 1971, in which more than 3 million people died and Karishma lost members of her own family. Yet, her mother (A "warrior woman" according to Karishma) turned to the source of the munitions that had rained down on them during the war for the peace and stability they sought as they rebuilt their shattered lives. Reflected in the words of Karishma herself who warmly and proudly declares her US Citizenship and reminds people that the American people are good and generous people who are the real source of our country's greatness. Until now, Karishma has focused her energy on her career as a scientist and her passion as an advocate for universal healthcare, campaign finance reform, and peace. Now she has set her sights on the US Senate. All of this leads her to posit: In the richest country in the world, why are millions struggling just to survive? People are suffering from expensive healthcare, low wages, and crushing debt, and we are losing veterans to suicide. As a scientist, Karishma follows the facts, and the truth is clear: too many lawmakers serve wealthy donors, not the people. It’s not just unfair. It’s un-American. https://www.karishmaforsenate.com/
