I wanted to lead with a story because this Smart and Simple Matters episode is all about stories. But not just your regular “Ho hum, that was nice (and then I found five dollars)” kinda dealio.

You're about to hear stories of people camped at the crossroads of simple living and community. And this episode – part two of my SimpleREV 2014 event recap – builds perfectly on part one.

Want to know something schuper schweet, though? I have high-quality audio from the event and I edited in some stories, straight from the people telling them.
