Episode 10: A Fresh Coat of Paint with Dirk Visser
Entering into a world of dust and dolls, Dirk Visser became part of the cast of Niles in the later 1900s. Dirk shared in many amazing experiences and opportunities as a fisherman, cafe owner, soap maker, a philosopher and now a writer.
Dirk does not waste his experiences. Instead, he uses them to reflect on his life in order to understand it well and learn more about how to have a better life.
This simple, yet profound, conversation deepens the pool in Niles. Who knew that in such a small community you would find such a wealth of experience and reflection.

________________
This podcast is the perfect medium to unveil the many stories the community of Niles holds tight. This first episode gives one the feeling that there’s tasty glimpses of the past in our future.
Ricky and Krysten effectively tease what’s to come in the upcoming episodes and I look forward to hearing each story.
Some feedback for the host
I love the concept and there’s plenty of room for improvement. On the second episode, the host kept interrupting the guest during the interview. Please let your guests finish speaking without cutting them off. I share your same enthusiasm for Niles but I’d like to hear what your guests have to say. In time, I believe this podcast will be better with some fine tuning and growing pains
Niles History and Culture in a Cast!
At last, a podcast about the Niles culture. Krysten has such an inquisitive and fun demeanor, this is going to be a fun ride. Thank you for putting this together!!!!
