Abigail Carlson has lived in the small community of Payette County, Idaho for her entire life. Her interests include music, any book she can get her hands on, cats, warm clothes, tiny objects, and most importantly...people. This led her to start Peak Curiosity in the summer of 2020 with the purpose of sitting down with anyone and everyone. She has interviewed a variety of musicians, authors, therapists, and personal friends; each with their own unique story. Abigail is an avid podcast listener herself and is heavily influenced by podcasters such as Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, and Matt Whitman.
