The story of a voice training VHS tape that helped trans women at a time when other resources were hard to access.

The way a person's voice changes over time feels like a simple, and overlooked act of magic. Whether intentionally or subconsciously, our voices are products of our environments as much as they are part of us.

Plus, guest host Swan Real discusses the universality of voice training with 99pi regular host Roman Mars.
