If you've headed over to our YouTube page recently, you may have noticed we have some updated artwork for our banner there. That is thanks to listener David Polk for putting that together for Sean and me.
0:21.9	We're very thankful to have that there and I think it looks quite a bit better than what we had before.

0:33.1	you might notice that the artwork there has been updated as well.
