Pretty Much: the Podcast
Pretty Much usually begins with a remembered moment in the dark as sleep fails to make its appointed time. The tone may vary, the focus may shift, and the point of view may jump as with the turn of an old radio dial. But is what you’re hearing representative of the inner workings of the voice in your ear?
