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.
