No. 14 — Finish Strong?

Should We

June 26, 2016

This episode introduces our producers, Luisa Beck and Natalie Jones. It was recorded from inside a cozy professional studio, though still with an iPhone and dinnerware. We can almost taste what it feels like to go pro.

Listen in to hear about who we dream of interviewing and what we’ve got in mind for season two.

And don’t forget to back and share the Kickstarter, so we can make it happen. The campaign ends on Tuesday at 8pm PDT.
