As a former Portland resident, I am extremely grateful for the amazing stories made available through this podcast. When I am lucky I get to see these shows in person, but until I can make it back, they are a lifeline to the beautiful pacific northwest and the people who live there. Thank you all for sharing your stories and for Lynne and Lawrence who have built this amazing community. We are listening!
