Manage episode 379402745 series 3483614
Remember when you used to explore the winding Highway 199, or when you first saw the towering Redwood trees? Our guest today, Kalea Renee, a native of Humboldt County, takes us on a lively journey through her memories and experiences of this picturesque location, from birthday parties at Moonstone Beach to swimming in the Pacific Ocean. We delve into the unique beauty of Humboldt and how these experiences have shaped her.
But beneath the surface beauty of Humboldt County, there are harsher realities. We take a poignant turn in our conversation as Kalea and I navigate the complexities of homelessness in the area. We don't shy away from the paradox that Humboldt—known for some of the world’s finest goat cheese—is also home to a significant homeless population. We also peel back the layers of the local cannabis industry, discussing everything from the intricacies of cultivation to the perils posed by cartels.
In the final stretch of our conversation, we turn our attention to the future of Humboldt County. Kalea discusses her move to Medford post-graduation, what she's taken from her Humboldt experience, and the transformations she's observed in the county since leaving. We exchange our local favorites – from eateries to craft beers and underline the power of laughter and connection. We wrap up this heartfelt episode, leaving you with a mixtape of our favorite tunes. Join us for this deep-dive into life in Humboldt County, seen through the eyes of one of its own.
