About Travel Stationary
From the publisher's feed
a program that does its honest to goodness best effort to transport you somewhere, all from the comfort of your internet connection.
It's called travel stationary as a play on words. Because, yes, it's like a place where thoughts get jotted down, as in stationary. It's also…. You get to travel without moving. To be stationary. Hear me spin yarns and thoughts and meditiation and oblique examinations from the comfort of your ears.
