Paul Tomisola

There is always more to a story than the version we're given.

A gap between what appears to be and what it actually is. Over the years, as a writer, broadcaster and analyst, I find myself coming back to conversations and stories that outlive the now, and to the different ways I find to hold onto them: written, spoken, recorded.
