Strangers

This is Episode 2 of my series, The Hopeful Locals. It’s a direct continuation of Episode 1, so if you haven’t heard that, I’d go start there.Huge thanks to my husband, Paul Dreux Smith, for making the music and mixing this episode, to my Associate Producer, Vix Jensen, for her help with the story, the production, the logistics – all of it – and to my Project Editor, Christina Thyssen, for always making my early drafts better. Also big thanks to Avi Odenheimer for making the Hopeful Locals logo, and to Pernille Clifforth for making an original art piece for every installment in this series. One of the greatest things about coming back to podcasting is that I get to work with such brilliant people. The other great thing is that I get to connect with you. Endless gratitude to my paying subscribers for making my work possible. It means everything to me, and you can join us on Patreon or Substack.
