We Live Here, Too

We Live Here Too Mediawww.weliveheretoo.us
A podcast about the people and spaces of rural America, hosted by Ruby McAllister and Soren Peterson. We talk people, places, politics, and more, and we interview people from rural spaces in Iowa and around the country to find out what matters to them. From time to time, we're joined by our friend and “not-a-pundit,” Darvin Graham. The people of rural America matter. We matter, because we live here, too. #WeLiveHereToo Like this podcast?
