How do you grapple with the unspeakable? How do you remember those who are no longer with us? We, too, are no strangers to these questions, and in our latest episode, we remember and honor the 18 innocent lives lost during the tragic mass shooting in Lewiston Maine. 

As we navigate the aftermath of Maine's first mass shooting, we talk about the harrowing circumstances that led to this tragedy. We tackle complex and controversial issues, from gun control to mental health and the potential failure of prevention mechanisms. We acknowledge the immense efforts of the local media, sheriff's department, and medical professionals during this chaos. We look at the initial confusion, the misinformation, and the eventual coming to terms with the harsh reality - a reality that has left the close-knit community of Lewiston forever changed.

As we mourn and remember, we also explore the repercussions such an incident has on a small community like Lewiston. We talk about the shattered sense of security, the changing attitudes towards personal safety, and the crucially important conversations around mental health, governmental role in prevention, and the role of national media. We invite you to join us - to remember, to understand, and to reflect upon the far-reaching impacts of this tragedy. This episode is more than just a tribute, it's a plea for change, an acknowledgement of our collective pain, and a testament to human courage.
