#57 - Guest Artist - Squalloscope - The Story Of The Year - Bonus Episode
Anna Kohlweis, who makes music as Squalloscope, is the guest artist on this bonus episode. She gives a beautiful reading of Hans Christian Andersen's The Story Of The Year. She has been a favorite of mine since I first heard her in 2017, and she let me include her new single for you after the introduction and before the story. This episode is a little different and a real treat. I hope you love it as much as I do. Let me know! You can find Anna's beautiful art and music at http://squalloscope.com.
