This week for We Are North Nashville, we're sharing a special feed drop. Essential Salt is a Maine Public podcast made up of six, half hour episodes. The series is produced by Maine Public’s Brenna Farrell and Jess Miller with support from Isaac Kestenbaum at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. In each episode, host Jess Miller introduces listeners to two archival Salt stories.
Maine is known for its scenic beauty and its perch on the far northeastern edge of America. But much of what goes on here speaks to the most central issues facing families, schools, towns, and cities across the US. Essential Salt is a collection of richly reported stories about living and working in Maine – where making a life brings the joy of vibrant landscapes and dynamic communities. But it also means grappling with tensions between rural and urban values, concerns about how to protect the water and land, and how to make sense of the past in a way that builds toward a strong future. This is a show about connection, and the power of local stories. And it’s a look at how getting to know your neighbors might change the way you see yourself.
