“It might be a good
time to just connect to
how the current times
are affecting our com-
munity,” she said. “It’s
good to hear each oth-
er’s voices and not just
the social media fo-
rum.”
Through exploring
the town’s diverse voic-
es, the hosts aspire to
bring a sense of con-
nectedness to the public
conversation.
“We want to have con-
versations that bridge
viewpoints and identi-
ties, so that we can hear
each other,” said Fattal.
Foraker and Fattal
first came to Cottage
Grove separately about
15 years ago and both
spent time at the sus-
tainable living center
Aprovecho.
Foraker began and
raised a family here
while Fattal found him-
self the subject of in-
ternational attention in
2009 when he and two
friends were taken into
custody by Iranian bor-
der guards while hiking
in Iraqi Kurdistan near
the Iranian border.
Though released in
2011, Fattal spent more
time away in New York
City before feeling the
draw of small-town
community and return-
ing to Cottage Grove.
“This just feels like
home,” he said.
For both hosts, the
desire to embrace and
explore their communi-
ty is a driving force for
the podcast.
Fattal was partially
inspired by the term
“enquentros,”

“And they’re supposed

Those places include
