Just see if we don't deliver on that word epic

that I put in the intro.

We'll have two different sponsors of this episode

that we'll hear from in a bit,

but first we've got lots to talk about as we talk about Alabama.

I'd like to welcome the show Larry Blyberg who is a freelance travel writer and editor,

also has his own websites at Larry Blyberg.com
