In Episode 32, journalist Sara Schonhardt talked about how some young college grads are heading back to small towns to find work. That show was recorded in a small sound studio in the woods, by a stream, in rural Rappahannock County, Virginia. The studio is owned by Forrest Marquisee, who is finding ways to work as a musician in a county where the biggest town has fewer than 400 people. In this episode the conversation continues, with Sara as guest host, interviewing Forrest about the joys and challenges of piecing together his creative career in a community at the edge of Shenandoah National Park.
