Welcome to Suburban Paradise

from The Heart · host Kaitlin Prest

A series of episodes quietly created from her parents' garage in the sleepy government city of Ottawa. In an era of well-crafted tightly edited, lushly designed and rigorously vetted (either by the network execs that hold the purse strings, by the powers of the algorithm, or by the monster of our own digital footprint-fueled perfectionism), these new episodes do more than just show the hand of the maker, they extend open palms, bow, kneel and lay foreheads to the ground. DONATE to the Unemployed Philosopher's Guild (aka: KP + Mermaid Palace) Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
