Animator Winston Hacking joins the show in advance of his visit to the 21st annual GIRAF animation festival (giraffest.ca). Listen to that conversation, plus your usual AM mix of ambient electronics, psychedelic grooves, dreamy tropicalia, and other sounds to make Monday mornings a little more pleasant. Hope you enjoy it.
