Sam Kieffer is hypnotically voiced and thoughtfully spoken Los Angeles resident. He also happens to be a podcast producer at Earwolf, which is why the sound quality of this episode is 100% clearer and 100% less interrupted by Figaro barking. Many of the shows that bricked together my own approach to podcasting have been produced by Earwolf. This includes Professor Blastoff, which Sam spent some time working on. In this episode, we talk about staying grounded and how to avoid getting lost in a city like LA.
About The Show:
LA is a city of 4 million spread over 503 miles, 114 neighborhoods and can take over an hour to get from one side to the other. With that many people bumping up against each other, how is it possible to feel alone and isolated. It's a city of paradox: dreams and heartbreak. Lifelong locals and those just coming in for a shot. Each week, I sit down with a Los Angeles resident to connect. Talk about our live and what got us to where we are today. Talking. What does it mean for two people to get to know each other?
It's also a show about connection in the larger sense, because each guest introduces me to the following week's guest. And as the weeks progress, it'll filter up a chain of people who can all be linked back to each other through who they know. That person we pass in the street, get behind at the grocery store, sit next to at the bar. They are all more connected to us than we may realize at first glance. A couple handshakes away...or, for the bold, maybe just one.
I'm Ana Fernatt and I don't know anyone in LA. But...now I know you. Special thanks to IG: music.emilymartin for the intro/outro and IG: nonaleon for the cover art. Follow me at IG: AnaAndThings.
