Hey, it's Anna. About a year ago, we put out an episode that was actually a pilot of another show by comedian Chris Garcia.

It was his story about grieving his father's death from Alzheimer's, along with a conversation he had with fellow comedian

Karen Gilgaref about her mother's death from Alzheimer's.

We called that episode, Alzheimer's and the world's saddest comedy club.

At the time, we asked for your feedback about the pilot.

And thanks in part to your enthusiastic response,

that pilot has become a new podcast from WNYC Studios. The new show is called

Scattered. In it Chris explores his father's illness and death but he also goes

deeper into his father's Cuban roots,

history Chris can no longer ask his father about.

So we wanted to share some of that new show with you.

This is episode two called The Camp,

where you'll hear about Chris's father's life before he left Cuba

when he was forced to work in a labor camp because he wanted to leave for the US.

You can find more episodes of the show Scattered at scattered podcast.org and welcome to the

WNYC Studios family, Chris.

My name is Chris Garcia and I'm a man on a mission. That mission is to figure out the truth

about my dad. It won't be easy and well it's not like I can ask him because he's

unavailable. But I've seen a lot of detective shows and I've got a college degree.

Sure, it's a degree in poetry, but it gave me important skills like how to turn in the same

essay on Beowulf for three different classes.

Most importantly, I know how to annoy the hell out of people until I get some answers.
