078 - Sofia Samatar - Author and Lover of Harrisonburg - August 13, 2024

We welcome award winning author Sofia Samatar to the podcast! Sofia tells us about her work, how she "found" Harrisonburg and why she loves to call our little town home.

From New Jersey to California to JMU, Sofia has a fascinating story to tell and we are very lucky she is a part of our community of doers.

Also a side note for our beautiful, eclectic fanbase, we do take a Mennonite deep dive!  

A few Mentions:

Ruby's Arcade - Come in, eat a pizza, read a book. For those who flourish in the cacophony of electronic gaming whirs and crashing bowling pins... and not say- a quiet library.
