North Carolina, Naturally: My Friends the Squirrels

A scientist who once rescued a pair of helpless squirrels returns to the forest where she released them. She recalls their saga fondly — but will they remember her? Listen as the pages of the magazine come to life in the Storytellers podcast, a new series featuring the voices of six Our State writers, including Editor in Chief Elizabeth Hudson. Each podcast episode features a writer reading their column aloud, allowing each distinct voice to shine. You can experience Our State wherever you go — in the car, on your walk, or while cooking dinner.
