The Wind Phone

About this episode

The episode tells a gentle story about expressing grief and finding solace in a private space.

Our story tonight is called The Wind Phone, and it’s a story about a gentle way to say what’s heavy on your heart. It’s also about wood chips and lilacs, a private spot protected by trees, and lifting a handset to set down some grief.
