Get Lost: A Walking Podcast of Eau Claire
8 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsGet Lost! started with a simple idea, or maybe a simple longing, to get out of rooms, apartments, and houses and tangibly connect with the world. It was created to be listened to in various sites throughout Eau Claire. Some stories are grounded in nothing but facts, while others took a minor detail and a healthy dose of creative license to craft a narrative. There are stories of innocence and experience, joy and sorrow, loss and love, with a healthy dose of humor and colorful language (this was written by a bunch of college kids stuck in their dorms, after all).
