Ordinary Story
A podcast about the mundane and the beautiful. An attempt to capture just a few of the ordinary, every day. A roadmap for meeting people right where they are, living stories that may never make headlines, but do make us feel deeper for and nearer to our neighbors. We believe the ordinary houses the extraordinary. Ordinary Story is brought to you BitterSweet and produced by Angela Wu, Carolina Soto, Obi Okolo, Robert Winship, and Kate Schmidgall. Sound design, mixing, and editing by Robert Winship. https://bittersweetmonthly.com/series/ordinary-story

We made it! Season One of Ordinary Story is in the books and we couldn't be more excited. So to wrap our first season we decided we'd share stories from the people who made this season possible - you, our listeners. This is a slow radio style meditation on the monumentally Ordinary lives of other people. Listen in part, or in one sitting - just listen. Till next season, and as always, take good care.
This a little longer than usual. But oh so good!
