Welcome listeners to another episode of Listen, Learn, and Love, hosted by Richard Osler.

My guest on today's podcast, joining me from his home in Utah, Orum, Utah, I believe, via Zoom, is my friend Darrell Austin.

Welcome to the podcast, Darrell.

Thank you so much, Richard. I'm happy to be here. Darrell Austin. Welcome to the podcast, Darrell. Thank you so much, Richard. I'm happy to be here.

Darrell is, I'll read a bio from one of the articles I've read. Darrell Austin is a health and history
