Hello and welcome to Red Minus, my name is Allison and I'm here with my co-host Brett.

0:21.2

And for this month we decided to do another Q&A episode.

0:24.8

There's a couple reasons for that, but as far as scheduling worked out, this was what

0:28.0

we decided would probably be easiest and most useful for us to do.

0:31.9

So we will be back to normal style episodes starting next month, but we got some really

0:35.8

good questions that I at least am very excited for us to dive into today.

0:39.7

And hopefully we can have an interesting discussion, and for me at least I always love hearing

0:44.3
