Recorded live inside The Record in Point Arena, this Step-In! episode invites locals to pause between aisles and share their stories, blending everyday moments with honest reflection.
Thank you to Paul, Kim, and Mak at The Record — located at 265 Main Street in Point Arena — for opening both their space and their spirit to the very first Step-In! gathering held there.
And thank you to everyone who stepped inside the booth, hesitated for a breath, and then chose to speak from where they truly were in the moment. These October-season nudges opened the door to memories, fears, childhood shadows, playful ghosts, and quiet truths — the kinds of stories that sit just beneath the surface until someone gently invites them forward. All spoken out alone in a small booth on-the-spot in the middle of a crowd and all the noise.
In your quiet moment, how would you respond to one of the nudges?
This episode was produced and hosted by Mark Sanford Gross.
