writings and happenings

You can hear me every third Tuesday of the month on WCAI, the Cape and Islands NPR station way out down in Woods Hole.

Last summer, I was happy to participate in a series of reading to promote Campfire Stories: Cape Cod, pictured above! I’ve an essay in there, too. (i’m the one with the microphone)

a reminder that if you do go on a walk or bike ride with me, i may end up writing about it

January 2026’s essay (a rerun of last year, an oldie but a goodie)

December 2025’s essay

November 2025’s essay

September 2025’s essay

August 2025’s essay (a personal favorite)

and on and on! you can read more of these essays, or listen to me read them to you, here at WCAI: https://www.capeandislands.org/people/mary-bergman

And watch this space for a new reported essay–coming soon, not about a place made of sand! Have notebook, will travel.
