Introducing 'STORIES by Lea Thau'

Hi friends, I’m back! New episodes start dropping Tuesday! Also, heads-up: I’ll be changing the name of this podcast from Strangers to STORIES by Lea Thau on Monday. That hurts a little, I know – for me too – but I promise it’s not the end of Strangers. The plan is for STORIES by Lea Thau to be an umbrella for all my work , including Strangers , and I want to do a new season of that show next year . But first we’ll kick off next week with episodes from my latest series, The Hopeful Locals . If you can’t wait for the public release and would like to binge the first eight episodes of The Hopeful Locals right now , you can do so on Patreon , where you’ll also find 70 episodes of Strangers that are only available there, and much more. If you can’t afford to pay, you can also join my Patreon community for free and get access to some new and old episodes without ads – Episode 1 of The Hopeful Locals is already up there! If you have questions or comments, or perhaps a story you’d like to share, you can email me at stories@leathau.com or message me on Patreon , Facebook , Instagram , or Substack . My name on all those platforms is now STORIES by Lea Thau. I look forward to spending a lot more time with you again, so please….don’t be strangers! The entire back catalogue of Strangers can be found at STORIES by Lea Thau on Patreon and Substack , where you can also find my new work in its entirety, all of it ad-free. You can join as a free or paid member, so come be part of my community! Or follow my new work in my new public feed, STORIES by Lea Thau, which you can find wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
