PAFO - Pond Around and Find Out

Chris Pondoff, Zoë Mendenall, Kurt Garner

PAFO is a loose, unscripted conversation show from the Pondoff’s Anonymous Network. No guests, no agenda, no pressure to land on a takeaway. Just people talking, wandering, circling ideas, and seeing what happens when you stop trying to be productive. Sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes a little off-track, always honest. Pond Around. Find Out.
