  • Episode 3: Moses Ascending

    01/01/2018 Duration: 08min

    Obviously this, and the following few episodes, are going to be mediocre at best. But you, dear listener, as the kind of person who bothers to read show notes, must either already know that or like me well enough that you're willing to put up with my learning curve. Thank you for that. There's a reason I'm saving my absolute favorite stories for when I know what I'm doing. It's worth sticking around (I hope).   MUSIC: Brunch (mini album mix) by Candlegravity
