Tim and Nick are on the case, examining the role of beauty in art. In the second half, join us for A Bit of Story, recalling the longings of youthful springs, and some exciting project updates. The leaves are turning, and a lovely chill is on the wind. Settle in and listen to the 48th episode of everyone's favorite storytelling podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought!
