    Moving to Bellows Falls
    My husband and I are moving to Bellows Falls. And came across your podcast as we search to see if there was a lgbt community in the village. This podcast was fantastic to find out about the lgbt history in bellows falls. We are looking forward to finding out more about our new home town.

    Excellent!
    I just finished the 6-part series on the Andrews Inn after reading about it in our local paper. Thoroughly researched and reported, this story of Bellows Falls, Vermont history was informative and heartfelt. Thank you!

    Happy to have found this
    I’ve always been a fan of walking through cemeteries and I just discovered this podcast which is delivering exactly the type of info I look for in walks. The voice and tone work well with the content. So glad to have found you!

    Fascinating!
    One of my very favorite podcasts, TSLoD is chock full of fascinating, esoteric information and presented by the charming narrator/researcher, Gail Golec. It has a very NPR feel to it and is just so darn interesting, I’ve literally listened to several episodes at least two times.
