Strangers

Since the beginning of time, strangers and strange places have given rise to our wildest dreams and our deepest fears — and to the greatest stories on earth. These days, as we fly around the world, or the Internet, we come into contact with a hundredfold more strangers than our grandparents did. This series from KCRW's Independent Producer Project is the about the strangers we meet, the strangers we become, and the "strangeness" we might overcome when we find ways to connect in the modern world. It's about travelers, seekers, dreamers, lovers and warriors. It's about fateful moments, bad dates, long lost friends, life-saving kindnesses, and those frightful moments when we discover that we aren't even who we thought we were.

Strangers is hosted and produced by Peabody Award-winning producer and director, Lea Thau.
