Hey, before we get going, I want to tell you about our sponsor this week, Case Fleet.

If you use facts in your job, and you could be a journalist, you could be a lawyer,

review software will help you organize your case or tell a story. You can sign up for a 14-day

your first subscription. Here's the show.
