I'm Bridget Bergen, senior reporter in the WNYC and Gothamist Newsroom, filling in for Brian

today's show with your calls about your cozy hobbies. We're talking about activities like knitting

and other textile arts, maybe puzzles, playing board games, or, you know, are you back to baking

sourdough? You get the idea. What have you gotten into during this incredibly frigid stretch of winter?

And is it helping you feel more grounded during what is a tough time for so many people?
