The Soundside team is on a break this week for the 4th of July holiday, so we’re revisiting some of our favorite segments of the year.

First up, when Seattle writer and illustrator Tessa Hulls started drafting the story of her grandmother’s life, she wanted to take on the role of neutral narrator, but that didn't last long.

We’ll hear about her graphic novel, Feeding Ghosts, and the complicated family history she unraveled.

And then, we'll speak with the director of a documentary about renowned translator Bill Porter aka Red Pine.

Guests:

Tessa Hulls, author of Feeding Ghosts
Ward Serrill, filmmaker behind Dancing with the Dead
Bill Porter, translator and author
