| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Lair Show on WNYC. I'm Bridget Bergen filling in for Brian today. Let's end the show on a lighter note. |
| 0:10.5 | Dare I say a cozier one. With the icy temps making it challenging and even dangerous to be outside, |
| 0:17.9 | what have you found to do indoors? Have you taken up or resumed what could be |
| 0:22.3 | called a cozy hobby? Something like knitting, which offers the added benefit of creating something |
| 0:27.8 | to keep you warm, or baking, which results in tasty treats and a warm kitchen. Tell us about your |
| 0:34.4 | cozy hobby. The number is 212-433 W-N-YC, that's 212, 433-9692. I heard reports of crowds at local yarn stores last Saturday in preparation for being snowed in with some time on your hands. Was that you? Did you start a sweater, finish a scarf, |

| 1:31.3 | Did that prompt you to maybe start up that sourdough? |
| 1:35.3 | I've been really thinking about how to make sourdough starter. |
| 1:38.3 | I keep watching videos and I'm just about to attempt it. |
| 1:42.3 | But maybe you've been making other comfort food. |
| 1:44.6 | Maybe you are more of a soup person or a pancake person for that snowy Sunday. |
| 1:49.2 | We want to hear about it. |
| 1:50.7 | Tell us about your cozy hobby, whether it's scrapbooking, taking pictures of your cat. |
| 1:55.8 | Darning sucks. |
| 1:57.1 | What helps you stay warm, body and soul in these freezing temperatures, the number one more time, |
