Think of this as your little plot in the woods where you can lay down a picnic blanket, gather with your friends, and gab! I’m your host, Anna Corinne - a NYC based podcast strategist and actress.

I'd love for more people to experience this with me. "When I sit down to write, the meadow is still engulfed in darkness under a sky where satellites pass by, one after the other.
