Take a road trip to Richmond, Indiana, in this episode of On Our Minds. Hosts Zack and Helena explore what “community” really means—from hometown sports teams and small-town festivals to unexpected spaces that bring people together.

At the center of this story is Oblivion, a local art store turned creative haven, where strangers become collaborators, and a fading town finds new life through art, storytelling, and connection.

Special thanks to KUT, Jake Perlman, and WETA, as well as the Lake of the Isles Pencil Festival.

Theme song composed and performed by Emilson Orellana Juarez and Jerick Romero Ciprian.
