Welcome to Shelter in Place // starter episodes
Wondering if Shelter in Place is for you? Or how to dive in? The selected episodes in this section represent a sample of the show, both in style and subject matter. Episode styles fall mostly into two categories: interviews (Laura talking to a friend or expert in some area), and memoir (personal reflections). Episodes will be tagged either interview or memoir, and by topic. (There are also a small number of fiction episodes, also tagged as such.)
In general, Shelter in Place episodes stand on their own; they don’t have to be listened to sequentially, unless you are especially interested in hearing the evolution of the show over the course of the pandemic.
Season two has an over-arching theme of our cross-country migration, or “Pandemic Odyssey,” but each episode focuses on a particular topic. Weekly episodes, averaging around 30 minutes.
Season one episodes came out six days a week, and average 18 minutes long.
“No matter the subject matter discussed, Laura always makes listeners feel like we are right there with her on the journey…”

Some couples fight about money. Or parenting. Or the right way to load the dishwasher. We fight about those things sometimes, too. But the recurring fight that defined our marriage for at least a decade? Hair.
