IVPodcast Ep. 29 | In Blackfoot Territory

Souta & Melissa record episode 29 together in person for the first time since 2019!  Recorded live in a secret remote mountainside location on gorgeous Blackfoot land, the conversation carries out in the middle of nature's unique ambiance.  The background noises of a multitude of insects, birds, and the odd plane can be heard.  If you're sensitive to insect sounds this might be a little distracting.  What a beautiful experience!
