Glynn Ayers and Regina Gresham join us for our season four finale, a discussion inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech at Glendale College in 1967.

Our goal for this podcast episode is to bring together voices from Corydon’s BIPOC and Queer communities to share personal stories and experiences. The goal is to help people in town see the rich diversity we have here and understand both the unique challenges and meaningful moments that come with being a minority in a small, rural place like Corydon.
