Welcome to our One-Year Anniversary! In this special milestone episode of Tales Under the Cat Tree, we look back at a remarkable year of profound global change and incredible conversations. From history and pop culture to role-playing games and war photography, we’ve explored it all. We reflect on what it means to embrace being an eclectic "audio magazine" in an algorithm-driven world.
