Chapter 283 - "Navigating Life with Music" ...as read by Tim Miller of Speak, Memory

To close out 2021, I’m so excited to finally share my interview with Tim Miller from post rock band Speak, Memory.

Tim told me the band will be releasing new music throughout 2022, so give them a follow and be on the lookout for new tunes in the new year.
