The audio remedy for your fireworks hangover!
Issue #44 | 06 Jul 2023
Instead of trying to keep up with Threads, P92, X, or whatever new version of the social web large companies are trying to foist upon us... how about some lovely audio fiction to take you away from that whole mess?
It's a shorter issue this week (hello, 4th of July), which just means you'll have even more time to spend contemplating the shows featured, highlighted, and coming soon this week, right? Right.
Let's get into it!
