UPDATE: The We Are Chaffee podcast was published from July 2022 to September 2025. It was produced and hosted by Adam Williams. The archive of 92 episodes exists on this website, Spotify and Apple.
History: This podcast was part of the broader We Are Chaffee storytelling initiative, which has published community stories in multiple formats: video, audio & writing. It also includes the 2024 documentary, “A Home in Paradise,” directed and produced by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Julie Speer Jackson.
Topics in the archive include: housing affordability, nutrition and health (e.g. outdoor activities, tick-borne disease, public health programs, Alzheimer’s, postpartum depression & anxiety), identity (e.g. race, gender), substance abuse and recovery, spirituality and faith, social and political challenges, local and broader history, nature and environment, community and entrepreneurship, creativity and change, death and resilience.
These topics and others drift as undercurrents within each of our personal stories. What’s personal often is universal.
