But the mission was even broader: to connect listeners on Cape Cod, USA, with listeners in Cornwall, England.On this page you'll find the hour-long episodes of this experimental collaboration. Each is focused on the voices of individual people speaking to each other directly, across the Atlantic Ocean, sharing their experiences around subjects immediately important to them.We hear them talk about surviving the pandemic, addressing climate change, housing struggles, community policing, and much more. We hope you'll explore the stories here and enjoy the voices and what they share.And we’re looking for suggestions for future episodes! Want to join the conversation?
