Summary

I talk for about 10 minutes with a guy who's hiding in a utility closet. He tells me he hides in there often, and what he is hiding from. Afterwards a caller talks to me about what it was like being raised in a polygamous household that resulted in him having 21 siblings. We discuss how that affected him growing up, where he is now, and how his relationship with his family has evolved. Lastly we receive a call from an American couple who moved to the Netherland during the pandemic and how their new European setting compares to the United States. It's a very good episode. I am a gecko.
