Pondercast explores the thoughts and feelings we often feel but rarely put into words or sound. Host Laurie Brown writes thought-provoking scripts set to ambient scores by Joshua Van Tassel. We dive beneath discomfort, into the mundane, and examine the sky. We explore the unknown within the solace of the present moment. New episodes every three weeks. Pondercast is supported by listeners through Patreon. Www.patreon.com/Pondercast Www.pondercast.ca
