Today, we're sharing an episode of a podcast we really like. It's called <a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/podcast/essential-salt">Essential Salt</a>, a show about connection, local storytelling and how getting to know your neighbors might change the way you see yourself. It's a collaboration between Maine Public and the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at the Maine College of Art and Design.<a href="https://www.mainepublic.org/podcast/essential-salt/2025-07-28/a-bandit-papers-a-city-in-hearts-and-strangers-meet-their-matches">In this episode</a>, we get to know a famous figure who drew a city together while remaining completely anonymous. Then, we look at what being a good opponent at chess can teach us about building strong, long-lasting relationships.  As always, our journalism is better when you’re a part of it:<ul>
