0:34.7 | From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle. |
0:44.9 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. I'm your host, Isaac Saul. It is Wednesday, January 31st, February is almost here. The first month, 2024 is flown by.

1:59.1 | newsletters are probably going to be a little bit late, |
2:01.8 | maybe even three or four hours late today also, maybe tomorrow too. But the issue is supposed |
2:07.7 | to resolve itself after we send a new batch of emails over the next day or two. So I apologize |
2:14.0 | that that happened for many of you yesterday. We got a lot of emails about it. Some people got the email as late as 8 p.m. |
2:19.9 | The podcast should be out at a normal time. |
