Folk Talk

12 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -

A podcast all about perspectives. Curiosity stricken small town host interviews with other people, to get their take on life, societal norms, and the things in life they either adore or despise. It's like a little audio journal of people I encounter. None of them are famous - yet. Its almost a sociology podcast, but not quite.
