There are a handful of easy ways you can help support our show and guarantee we can stick around for the long haul. We’re a two-person (and one cat) operation, so any and all help is gratefully accepted with a loud huzzah. (The neighbors are really sick of hearing us shout ‘Huzzah!’)

Tell a Friend

Book and travel talk is the best gossip. Have you told a friend (or that friend and that friend over there) about Strong Sense of Place? And hey, why not tell that dude at work who’s kind of annoying or the bored security guard at the front desk. Annoying dudes and bored people need good books, too.
