Rocking Chair or Settlement is set in the mid-19th century, focusing on life at the edge of civilization where pioneers wrestle with the challenges of settling new land. The podcast’s tone is reflective, exploring personal stories against the backdrop of historical events. It examines the tension between the comfort of the past (symbolized by a rocking chair) and the uncertainty of the future (symbolized by the settlement).
