    Who Rescued Whom (stories of human and animal bonds)

    On October 1, 2015, "So..." Stories of Life held a benefit in beautiful southern California for Rancho Coastal Humane Society, a wonderful animal welfare group which is among one of the most innovative in the nation.

    The event featured true stories about people and their pets based on the theme of “Who Rescued Whom?”

    It proved to be a lively evening of stories,live music and the great fun of being able to meet and hug some adorable rescued and adoptive pets.

Andrea Morse ,

Still amazing….

It’s been a few years since I’ve listened to any of these episodes. As the location engineer, editor and co-producer I’m honored to have been involved with these episodes. Even after having listened to numerous episodes of Snap Judgement, Radio Lab, This American Life and so many others, So… still holds up and entertained, well produced podcast episodes.
