The Last Person Who Knew Everyone's Name

In almost every town, there's someone who functions as a kind of human index — the postal carrier who notices when the mail piles up, the school secretary who's watched three generations come through the front door, the librarian who quietly connects the lonely kid with the right book. They aren't elected, they aren't paid to care, and nobody wrote their job description. This episode asks what happens to a community when those people retire, move away, or simply stop being replaced. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
