The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heart sick.

Sugar is here, the both of us, speaking straight into your ears.

I'm Cheryl Strait.

I'm Steve Almond.

This is Dear Sugar Radio.

Oh dear song, won't you please?

She has some little sweet days with me.

I check my bell by every day.

Oh and this sugar, you sing my way.

Hi Cheryl.

Hi Steve.

How are you doing?

I'm good here we are talking in my hometown.

I often say on the credits Portland Oregon my hometown.

And we're going to talk about home today.

We get so many unexpected letters.

I say unexpected because I usually think of our show as being one where we discuss

you know these psychological issues and family dysfunctions.

But we get a lot of letters from people who say,

should I live here or there or I want to live here and he wants to live there?

Or should I go off and do this or is that you know this?

People send us sometimes Zillow or Redfin listings and we're like apparently they want us to sell or buy a home with them.
