Episode Three: Home

Maine is home to an increasingly diverse population as old and new cultures and beliefs collide, bend, and weave together to create something unique and unexpected every day. A constant in all that change is the desire for home and community – a place to feel safe and accepted. This Essential Salt episode explores three very different journeys to finding just that place.

Featured stories by Ben Harvey, Emily Eagle, and Casey Georgi.

Season One of Essential Salt was produced by Lucy Santerre and Lucy Soucek and hosted by Lucy Soucek. Isaac Kestenbaum, the Director of the SALT, was a contributing writer and editor of the series.

Our Essential Salt theme song is by composer and Salt alum Steven Jackson, along with the fine folks at Cue Shop. You can find more music for storytelling at cueshop.co. Listen to “Clerical Western” here in its entirety.
