Passersby is about seeing people, and helping people feel seen. It's an exploration of the different ways we each experience the world, the perspectives that shape us, and the humanity that connects us. There are billions of us, and not a single person experiences life the same way. Join Carrie Whittaker each week as she gets to know one person at a time. Because within every person is an entire world we know nothing about. Let's stop for a minute and see each other.

    Episode 002: Laurie

    Laurie is one of those people who seems to radiate joy. But her story includes experiences that could have made it difficult to see the world that way. From surviving childhood abuse and losing two sisters to finding healing, building a family, and learning who she really is, Laurie shares the experiences that have shaped her perspective on life. We talk about the people who helped her through difficult seasons, the choice to keep looking for goodness, and why hope has become as essential to her as breathing. It's a beautiful reminder that darkness and light can exist in the same story, and that darkness doesn't have to win. Passersby is hosted by Carrie Whittaker and produced by Odd Little Productions. See each other.

    Episode 001: Dennis

    Dennis is living with stage-four cancer. He’s also writing books, making plans, going to concerts, spending time with his family, and, as he puts it, saying yes to living. In this conversation, Dennis talks about the strange “long middle” of an incurable illness, the difference between expectation and expectancy, learning to give yourself grace when your capacity changes, and the power of simply witnessing another person’s suffering. We talk about family, writing, forgiveness, the ocean, the people who have shaped him, and why, after everything he has experienced, Dennis still chooses to believe that people are inherently good. His reason for hope is remarkably simple: people. This is Passersby. Let’s get to know Dennis.

    Introducing...

    Welcome to Passersby. It started with a woman I passed on my morning walks.I didn’t know her name. We didn't speak. But during one of the hardest seasons of my life, seeing her brought me a strange kind of comfort, and made me wonder about all the things we carry that the people around us can’t see.A few months later, I went for a walk with no real destination. Somewhere along the way, the idea for Passersby found me.In Episode 000, I’m sharing the story of where this podcast came from, why I believe every person is worth knowing, and what I hope we might discover when we slow down long enough to really see each other.There are billions of us experiencing this world, and no two of us experience it quite the same way.Let’s stop for a minute.Let’s get to know one.This is Passersby.See each other.
