| 0:12.2 | We've got something a little different this week for folks who have been listening to the show for a while |
| 0:18.1 | You will know that we changed the format of the show |
| 0:21.3 | Three four months ago one of the things we did was instead of doing dedicated episodes |
| 0:26.4 | We used to call them two-minute drills dedicated episodes where we just answered your questions |
