056: Gary Jones Interviews Kristina, Fan 27.02.2021

It isn't a secret that science fiction is not for the everyday person. It takes a specific type of person to fall in total love with a piece of escapism, and even more specific a person to find real-world application from the stories. In the case of Kristina, she found that certain characters mirrored her own personal world. Have a listen to her story.
