  • The Cloud Cuckoo Land episode was perfection

    I really enjoy this podcast. Her voice is lovely and she exudes such warmth. The mutual admiration evident in her relationship with Tony Doerr was beautiful.

  • Through interviews and narrative storytelling, this podcast is a masterful reflection on how life has evolved during the pandemic: the shocks, the uncertainty, the relentless change, and the new connections & communities that were built. It's been awesome to see how this podcast has evolved over the years, and the uplifting impact it's had on so many people.

  • Soul food

    Laura’a voice is immediately such a comforting thing to hear. You instantly trust that she’s going to take you on a journey to discover something new and beautiful about the world we’re living in, even when it’s hard. Shelter In Place remains a staple in my podcast feed and I look forward to being simultaneously challenged and safe every time I hit play

  • Compelling, addictive

    This show takes the pandemic lockdown and makes it into a time capsule for generations to come. The premise of the show is that the Oakland-based podcaster began a daily podcast on day 1 of the pandemic lockdown. She examines herself, her family, neighborhood, city/state, country and world. One of my very favorite podcasts and I recommend to all families sheltering in place together.

The juxtaposition of perspectives creates an artful and touching examination of our time here, and it exemplifies the fantastic work that Shelter in Place create with each episode. It’s been a pleasure creating and learning in the Kasama Collective program and virtually working alongside L... more

  • What a journey!

    It is such a surreal experience for me to listen to the final product of As You Wish. Laura and Nate helped me to cultivate it from an idea to a well-crafted, superbly created podcast episode. This experience reminded me a lot of going through labor!!! The pain, the laughter, the tears, the much needed meds! But just like labor, with that last push, the end product is more beautiful than I ever imagined and it has forever changed me. Thank you Laura and Nate for being my podcast obstetrician... more

    I first listened to Shelter in Place at a time in my life when I was searching for hope. The current of tenderness and vulnerability that runs through Laura and her team's personal stories captures how intimately connected we all are.
