On the first day of “calendar” spring 2021, after more than a decade of writing about the spring waiting game in Rangeley, Rooted In Rangeley made its debut on WRGY 90.5 FM Community Radio. And, after a lifetime of loathing the sound of my own voice, I finally started to enjoy the telling part of storytelling. It didn’t hurt, of course, that it was a balmy 64 degrees after the first Dark Winter of COVID, and I was riding down Route 16 with the truck windows down, returning from an Oquossoc Grocery picnic by the Magalloway.

Here, for your listening pleasure, are the posts edited for audio on WRGY 90.5 FM (wrgy.org).
