Ian breaks down our team's goals for SynPod: We want this show to be an encouragement and inspiration to both synesthetes and non-synesthetes alike. Is it perfect? Heck no, but that's not our goal. Our hope is that this podcast makes the world a little brighter for anybody who sometimes feels alone in the world.
