DEAREST is now a Podcast!!

Dearest has now been turned into an epistolary podcast.   Give yourself a trip into the past.  Immerse yourself into the realities of 1872.  Listen to each letter as they will "arrive" individually, each as its own episode. And the publication aligns with the dates of the original letters. So, just like the mail in the 1870s, it's uncertain when the next will arrive.  This is a different kind of Podcast.
