Brian & Annie M. — No Ordinary Peace : The Love Story of Dunbars in early 1970's Africa

Hello, this is Brian McFarland. My wife. Annie and I have an idea for a podcast that we'd like to share with you. We were fishing around for some ideas and I saw an interesting audio archive from two Peace Corps volunteers in the 1970s. Loretta Dunbar and James Amish Dunbar and they actually met there and fell in love my name for the podcast would be she has a book called no ordinary life and they were in the Peace Corps so I thought no ordinary peace would be very interesting. Because peace because many different relative meanings that we could use. 
We also have a tentative agreement to maybe use the Lauretta Dunbar audio cassette letters home to maybe integrate that into the podcast as well. My wife is a big fan of Outlander and in a way this is a bit of a historical fiction in that we will tell the real story. I'm a big fan of history. And we are also Macfarlanes. So there are some really interesting connections here that I think that will make a personal journey of us as well as the Dunbar's that would be really great for the audience to listen to. And that way for as far as what the benefit will be, you know, there's an emotional core of intimate relationship and difficult circumstances. And I also think that people who are just interested in like the history of the 1970s, and just how the world that we came to be and geopolitics and human nature very large and very big. That's always an interesting connection that I think the listeners will really enjoy. And I would love to talk to maybe to their family members. I think it'd be great to talk to like, historians of the time period and get more of like the context of it. And then also members and organization leaders, the Peace Corps, and are really could you know, audio interviews of people in Nigeria or Ghana, that maybe knew them or maybe they're the kids of people that didn't know them would just be amazing. Heck flyest africo will do on the spot interviews. So look forward to hearing about this really great idea and our idea is no ordinary piece.
