  • I love this so much

    Strangerville is like a combination of David Sedaris and This American Life. But it’s local, and I can totally relate to a lot of these experiences. I’m happy that there are so many episodes to binge and lose myself in. Thank you Eli and Meg!

  • MY FAVORITE PODCAST.

    I love the hosts, Meg and Eli are so funny and I love the energy that they bring to the show. They are so open and they pay attention to real conversations and they respect each other while also making me laugh out loud. This podcast makes me feel way more connected to the Utah culture that I am surrounded in. Also one time I took a knitting class taught by Eli at a new knitting store down the street from me, and now my mom is addicted to knitting and our house is made of yarn.
