How to Join Cathy Segal-Garcia's Noontime Hang Live Sessions

Cathy Segal-Garcia hosts a recurring livestream called the Noontime Hang, broadcast simultaneously on Facebook Live and YouTube Live. The sessions are free to watch on either platform — no ticket or registration is mentioned. You can join live to ask questions and comment, or watch past episodes through the archive link on her site.

Where the Noontime Hang Streams

The show runs on two platforms at once, so you can pick whichever you already use:

Both feeds carry the same session, so there's no need to open both unless you want to comment on a specific platform.

When to Tune In

• Sessions are usually once a week, and often on Mondays from noon to about 2:00 p.m.
• The schedule is described as flexible ("these days I'm usually on..."), so treat Monday noon as the typical window rather than a guaranteed slot.
• Upcoming sessions are listed on the site under "Upcoming hangs," which is the most reliable place to confirm the next date before you block out time.

If you're in a different time zone, convert from the stated noon–2:00 p.m. window to your local time and check the upcoming list, since day and start time can shift.

What Happens During a Session

Each hang features Cathy plus special creative guests, and the conversation is framed as a shared "life class." Typical topics include:

• Music and singing
• Playing and performing
• Making CDs
• Life philosophies and creativity

The format is open: you're invited to join in, ask questions, and make comments in the live chat. This makes it useful both as a listener-only hangout and as a chance to get input on your own singing or creative work.

Watching Past Episodes

If you miss a live session, the site provides a "View Archive" option alongside the livestream links. Use it to catch earlier Noontime Hangs with previous guests rather than waiting for the next live date.

Practical Tips Before You Join

• Confirm the date first. Check "Upcoming hangs" rather than assuming a Monday session is happening.
• Log in to comment. Asking questions or posting comments requires being signed in to Facebook or YouTube; watching generally does not.
• Arrive near the start. With a roughly two-hour window, joining at the beginning gives you the fullest conversation and the best chance to get a question in.
• Pick one platform. Since both streams are live at the same time, choose the one where you're already logged in and comfortable chatting.

Related Ways to Connect

Beyond the livestream, the site points to a Patreon option ("Become a Patron") and a music store for albums and physical CDs, with an email contact for purchasing physical CDs directly. If your interest is in her teaching rather than the hang, the site also lists private voice lessons, workshops, and CD production services.
