This April Fools...
Meet Alex. He's enigmatic and so is his jumper, which was sent to him anonymously in the post... This April Fools episode was made in collaboration with my friend and improv comedian (also called Alex) and comes to you at a time when everything seems like an April Fools. I hope it makes you smile wherever you are self-isolating/social distancing and makes you feel connected to other humans (yay). Music: Storybook by scottholmesmusic.com Cover Art: Beth Barnett
