0:00.0	Hi everyone. I'm Josh, and this is The Emerald, Currants and Trends Through a Mythic Lens,
0:12.1	the podcast where we explore an ever-changing world and our lives in it through the lens of myth,
0:19.5	story, and imagination.
0:26.6	The Emerald. All that's happening on this green jewel in space.

0:45.3	listeners over the last couple months, and I just want to say welcome. Welcome to the Emerald
0:49.2	podcast. Welcome to the Emerald podcast community. And for those who are new listeners, do be sure to go back and check back episodes going back a few years now.
