To commemorate Area Code: Batavia's 20th episode, I've invited our collaborators, Ben Wydra and Lauren Purdy from Plimsoll, to take a look back on what the stories we heard in the previous episodes of the podcast meant to us, and what they mean for our community.

We talk about how COVID disrupted and deepened the stories of so many, whether or not Batavia is really as special as this podcast might have you believe, and the one thing Craig Foltos said to me after I interviewed him that I can't get out of my head.
