This week we share a story from the front lines. Literally, from the front lines of a brutal war. But also figuratively, from the front lines of a change in technology that would shape how civilians understand war: personal recording.
We've got two additional episodes in a new collection for subscribers including a special from Hearing Voices that is actually six individual pieces.
It's great listening for the long night.
