Instead, we\u2019re at home, which is definitely the safe place to be. However, there has been an amazing flourishing of online culture. While it\u2019s not the same as being together in person, it does offer new accessibility to people who couldn\u2019t attend events in person for whatever reason. We\u2019re creating amazing tools as a community to stay in touch, and I really hope that we can continue doing many of them to keep our community inclusive. This week we have music from Callithump, Elixir, the Oshima Brothers, Haley Hewitt, and the Bright Wings Chorus. Julie reads a poem by Susan Reid, and Sam Sanders and Aaron Marcus perform a poem by Danny Dover. As always, you can send in music and reach out to us at starsintherafters.com. We\u2019d love to hear from you and add your voice to the podcast. Take care, everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Episode notes<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>1.
