I first heard JONES’ voice watching one of my freeform guilty pleasures, The Bold Type. Her sweet melodic sound is perfect for when you’re trying to get work done or sitting in your coziest chair with a cup of coffee. That was a few years ago so getting the chance to connect with her over Zoom now has been quite …
