'Living in Santa Barbara' Podcast Debuts

Santa Barbara is a town known for stunning landscapes and rich history but there’s another layer that most people overlook


Press releases are posted on Independent.com as a free community service.


Santa Barbara is a town known for stunning landscapes and rich history but there’s another layer that most people overlook – the stories of the people who live here. “Living in Santa Barbara,” a local podcast, is bridging the gap by bringing community together through meaningful conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, and every day residents who make the town unique.

The podcast creator, Kathy Henry, envisioned it as a way to reconnect in the wake of Covid, where people became more mentally and emotionally isolated. “Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, the podcast is a way to explore the world and expand our understanding of each other, encouraging empathy, appreciation and a healthy mindset.”
