Welcome to the Village Well Podcast (formerly Shelf Talkers). After devastating wildfires swept through Los Angeles, we decided to dedicate an episode to cover the extent of their impact on our community. We interviewed staff and customers about their experiences going through the fires. Whether affected directly or indirectly, we all feel the grief caused by such a generational disaster. We hope that by sharing these stories, our listeners find a sense of solidarity and understanding. We also compiled a list of books on fire and grief. Take a look below for our recommendations.
