We've got a regular episode that's being released this week, but first, we have a bonus episode.

As many of you are aware, we've been dealing with some pretty severe server issues.

But interestingly, just through dumb luck, I ended up talking to one of the BHP members,

his name's Joe, and I explained the issue, and he wrote a custom plugin that solved

a huge chunk of the problem that's been plaguing the site for over a year.

And no kidding, at the height of these issues, about 75% of my workload was just taking

up with side issues, either trying to keep it up or trying to put up fires when it was

down.

Which meant it was really hard to research and write episodes, and that slowed down the

production.

But now, a lot of that seems to have been resolved, which is incredible, and so obviously I wanted

to compensate Joe for his work.

And all he wanted me to do was make one of his favorite members episodes free to the

public, which is just the nicest thing in the world.

So that's what I'm doing today.

But heads up, this was my second members episode, and it's about a decade old.

So the audio quality and honestly my delivery probably aren't going to be up to the standard

that you're used to.

But here we go, straight out of the archives.

The myth of the poet's curse brought to you by Joe.

We do not respect poets like we once did.

Poets are almost all that remains of our druidic past.
