Good Day Thomas Jefferson Hour podcast listeners. Thank you for listening and welcome to this week's edition of the Thomas Jefferson Hour.

Indeed. Now, I'm still smarting a little under the criticism from somebody that our podcast

introductions are pointless. You know you have to admit it's a bit self-indulgent

No. Well no it is because we're you know it's a bit self-indulgent. No.

Well, no it is because we're, you know, it's a chance for us to converse outside of the

confines of that show that goes on national public radio.

Well, we're not really, you know, just sitting around talking about recent

pinball machine games that we've had or twill tidly winks.

Where did that come from?

No, I was just saying that it's not as if we're off topic here.

No. Look, I got a ukulele out of this. I think we should have a system where you can say,

you want to skip this crap, punch here're looking into that that's what we need

just that and then those who love it there I think three or four of them can listen

and the rest no I really enjoyed the last this week show on the and the previous week show it's great to get back into a

rhythm with president Jefferson and I miss being in character when we don't do it

enough yeah and so it was good to catch up on those. And again, thank you, all you listeners who sent in questions.

It was great.

We got a lot, both emailed to us via the Thomas Jefferson Hour dot com site and also the Jefferson Our

Facebook page.

Yeah, let me say this to those who, you know who, and I'm being serious here for

a moment to those who may think well what's the point of the

podcast introduction?
