Louis, Can of Cola

Welcome, new listeners. We're glad you're here. We always tell people to start at the beginning, so here's our very first episode. If you like it, we recommend going back to the start of the feed and continuing from there. But it's up to you. Louis is a can of cola. He's been on the shelf a long time, so he's had some time to think. Featuring Louis Kornfeld. Our website is everythingisalive.com. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
