An unexpected piano

This bonus episode, in my opinion, contains some of the most beautiful audio I've captured for the podcast so far.

The result is a beautiful mix of unexpected music and people milling about, having conversation. Foreground: People in a public building. Background: An unexpected piano practice session. Roam is produced by Jimmy Finazzo, with music by Alex Bainter & Chris Zabriskie.
