Hayley and Gian join us to tell some charming, mischievous and unsettling stories about their home county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Lancaster sits an hour away from Philadelphia on the east coast of the United States. A rural county with a dramatic class divide, long school bus rides and Amish "Goth Farmers" nestled between endless cornfields.
We explore the dark reality of wealthy teens who romanticise poverty through rap music. The mental health and opioid epidemic as well as Lancaster City's evolution with gentrification. As wealthier populations move into the area, existing residence still face many social and economic issues.
After listening to this episode, It's hard not to be left feeling nostalgic for this place you've never been.
