Season 6 Episode 6: “No one asked me but…”
Dec. 16 @ 7:00 PM
A chat on Nextdoor Neighbor, a new segment “That Grinds my Gears,” hot and bothered over climate change, Land Trusts or how to buy a house for $75, what you wouldn’t do for a million dollars….and a surprise from the zAmya archives. Hosted by Corey Walton, including zAmya troupe members, friend Katie Burgess, and the thoughts of some of our neighbors.
