Voices from Lincoln Street: An Experiment in Reverse Tourism

Voices from Lincoln Street: An Experiment in Reverse Tourism There’s been a cruise boom in Sitka Alaska, with more people coming to the island community than ever before. To feel a bit more connection to the people filling town, Sitka Tells Tales set up on the street to talk with tourists about where they’d take us as a visitor in their home communities and to ask for stories of turning points and things they don’t always share.   It's an experiment, it's audio therapy, and it's funny and surprising in places.  Original broadcast on KCAW.ORG September 19th, 2023 Produced by Ellen Frankenstein & Becky Meiers.  Edited by Ellen Frankenstein Additional editing & mixing by Dave Emmert Music by Lincoln Street Buskers including Ted Howard & Rick Fleischman, Pointy and the Birds, John Ingman and Bryan O’Callaghan.
