Four years ago, while out at lunch with a friend, I started drawing a logo on a thin and uncooperative napkin.
When I got back to the office, napkin in hand, I sketched out the shoddy design on a sheet of paper, even though the sturdier texture did nothing to help my lack of drawing skills.
Still, I managed to capture the image rolling around in my head of the words “Cape Fear Unearthed,” the first two stacked on top of the third with a shovel forming the “F” and dug into the “Unearthed.”
I was instantly inspired. In my gut, I believed I had created something truly special, even though at that point it was just an idea for a podcast telling the stories of local history, one episode at a time.
