From the publisher
Stories & Sounds is an investigative audio adventure documenting legacy, brought together by the mystery of music. Join host Jonas Litton as he lets his curiosity run rampant, sending him tumbling down a musical rabbit hole of pop culture unknowns. In each episode, he finds himself where he never expected: bumping shoulders with Vince Gill, Ben Folds, and They Might Be Giants, hypothesizing with movie synchronization conspiracists, or spending a day in prison. Throughout the series, both Jonas and his listeners learn that when we search for meaning, truth, and entertainment within our human experience, our questions may not always need answering.
