Welcome to today’s episode! We sit down with Yan Albaladejo, an amateur historian and political organizer with deep roots in the North Fork.

In this conversation, we dive into some of the pressing issues Yan is passionate about, from housing and poverty to the effects of climate change on the region. We also explore his thoughts on social media and his hopes for the future of the North Fork. Tune in for a wide-ranging conversation about history, activism, and the future of this unique community.
