We’ve come a long way since launching The Evergreen in February 2024, when we set out to make a weekly podcast for OPB about the beautiful and complex place we call home: the Pacific Northwest.

As the year comes to a close, we’re listening back to our very first episode! It’s a reflection on the idea of home itself. What makes where you live your home? What is it that makes us feel at home here? Is it a place, a person, a memory, a sound, even a smell? And what does “at home” even mean? We explore answers to these questions with our friends at OPB and in our audience.
