CBS Sunday Morning Gives Us Seven Reasons to Wander a Little
It’s CBS News Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley time — and this round of INYIM picks is exactly why the show remains one of television’s great little escape hatches. We pulled seven stories built to fuel the brain, the imagination and a little casual-whimsy Sunday wandering.
This week’s INYIM seven move from Ted Danson to hidden U.S. history, then bison on Catalina Island, a return to Little House on the Prairie, across the shifting world of actor J.K. Simmons, into the very specific magic of Carol Bove’s heavy-metal artistry and, lastly, reclaiming the lost art of actually sitting down and listening to music. Television wandering. The good kind.

Reclaiming the Lost Art of Listening to Music
Digital music gave us the freedom to hear almost anything, anywhere, at any moment — which somehow also made it easier to barely listen at all.

A story after our own heart: put the phone down and actually hear the record.
