Hi friends, welcome back to the show.

0:02.9

Before we get into today's episode,

0:05.0

you may notice something slightly different

0:07.3

about my voice and that is because I managed to lose it

0:10.6

for almost a full week now.

0:13.1

0:16.6

0:26.0

So I've rearranged a bunch of podcasts

0:27.8

and I've rescheduled stuff.

0:29.7

However, it's got to the point where I actually need

0:31.4

to record intros and the choices between not putting

0:34.1
