0:00.0	The audio you're about to hear was recorded in Anchor.
0:02.5	From ScienceSortov.com, you're listening to Science Sort of.
0:19.8	Hello and welcome to Science Sort of. This is episode 282. I'm your your host Ryan Howped and our theme this week is Anchors Away part two.
0:26.2	That's right. We're featuring the second batch of short segments I did for the podcast startup anchor last year.
0:32.9	And we got some good ones coming down the pike at you this episode. I got a really cool one about the magnificent frigate bird, which is a great bird.
0:41.5	If you like birds, I talk about the number pie a little bit.

1:28.4	cleanliness, clean taste that I prefer my more West coast or mountain West IPAs, but this one does
1:35.4	a nice job and still has a lot of strong flavors while maintaining that rich New England haze
1:42.0	and mouthfeel. So give it a try if you like it.
1:44.6	Plus,
