The premiere episode of Season Four begins in Denver with ten-year-old returning guest Virginia “Ginny” Sexton. Before heading to Red Rocks, Ginny sings, talks about growing up, and pulls Ari into a series of unexpected listening and acting experiments.

The PAUSE with Ari Clibe ·

In less fancy terms, you are invited to revisit the past in a new framework of unity over division. Disappointment pervades the emotional timbre of this mix, while Ari and Ash fly in their own rather than shared orbits of radio improvisation.
