Happy to share with an episode of Some Noise, a fantastic podcast you should subscribe to. Some Noise is an independent documentary podcast that unpacks many of life’s contradictions, one topic at a time. It started in 2015 and has covered stories that range from the life and times of an immigrant Muslim community miles away from the Pentagon, a working-class fishing community in the Hamptons and a group of Northern Californian separatists who believe their salvation comes in the form of a 51st state. Follow the show @thisissomenoise, subscribe and leave a glowing review.
