Tips for optimum listening experience:

• It is a fiction. And like a novel… you may want to start with episode 01 before jumping into episode 02. The episodes build on one another.
• It is a performance. So like any performance, it invites your attention. Put on headphones and be in this sonic world with us. Take pleasure in listening. Turn off those notifications.
• It is participatory! You are invited to act. Be open to how the podcast moves you.
