Hi listeners, I'm Susan Matthews host of Slowburn Roe v Wade.

Thanks to everyone who listened to our four-part series on what life was like before

Roe v Wade if you haven't listened to it yet.

It's an in-depth look at a period of time that is obviously incredibly relevant now,

but I think that it was also kind of forgotten in this understood.

We're already hard at work on the next season of Slowburn, but in the meantime, we're going

to use this space to showcase some of our other great narrative podcasts, and today I'm

so excited to introduce Willa Pascon, host of one of my favorite shows, Dakota Ring.

They've got a new batch of episodes that we'll be featuring here over the next few weeks.

Hi Willa.

Hi Susan.

I'm so happy to have you here.

I think that Dakota Ring has a lot in common with Slowburn, particularly in its sound

rich design and its narrative style, but it's going to be like a little bit lighter,

I assume, you're saying completely different subjects.

Can you tell me how you describe the show to people?

Dakota Ring is a narrative podcast that is kind of fun.

I mean, we're serious, too, but we're also fun.

We look at culture and pop culture sort of from the 20th century and just try to answer

questions about it.

Some of those questions you may have been wondering about, like why are we so obsessed

with drinking water all the time these days?
