DING DONG! The sweetness and surprise of singing telegrams

DING DONG!

Crash headfirst into the world of singing telegrams: bizarre, moving, and absolutely unforgettable.

You’ll meet Joy Brooker, whose TikTok serenades bring millions to tears and laughter; Jay Bragg, who blends hospice care and honky-tonk into acoustic telegrams; and Paul Mordoff, a children’s entertainer who joins us on a bench by a lake in a tutu-clad gorilla costume.

At the end, Chion puts it all into practice with her boldest assignment yet: surprising ºÚÁϳԹÏ꿉۪s very own president and CEO, Mark Contreras, with a song (while wearing an inflatable axolotl costume).
