    What a fantastic first episode! I can’t wait for more. You can really tell Olivia has put in the work and deeply cares about the STORIES behind folk music. Not only that, but she has the skills with the pen and her voice to back it up. With a wonderfully entangled topic like this, she is sure to keep us coming back. Huzzah!
