Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is

for busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran.

That's why NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course

options, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and

service members can advance their careers. NU is a yellow ribbon school and accepts the post-911

GI Bill while offering veterans help to cover what the GI Bill may not. To find out more,

quarter by quarter or season by season. I mean, starting in the winter right out of the gate,

because we had our episode 100 celebration, you remember last year, but the century series,

that was a lot of fun. Big hit. You took two of them, and I thought it was really fun learning
