Hello there and welcome to the Thank You Fellows Podcast.

My name is Caleb Keith. Today I'm joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith, by Dr. Adam Francisco, and by soon-to-be doctor, John Hoyum. I think there's some, you've been a guest on the show, I think like six times since COVID.

Yeah, it's a mere master. And you did, you've submitted your dissertation, right?

So you still have to defend it if I'm correct, but.

Yeah, I mean, depending on when you drop this episode, yeah, it's middle of December.

Cool.

That's awesome.

Yeah, congratulations.

That would be great. So in a a couple weeks i think we'll be

able to update your bio on the website and uh maybe we'll vote on full fellow status oh yeah take

adam will have to call a meeting adam's in charge of the fellows now but he doesn't like calling

meetings anymore.

You might be wild.

Maybe he'll just make you a fellow by Fiat then.

Hey, so do you have to travel to go to the Viva Vocci or the oral defense?

Or do you have to do it on Zoom?

Usually, yeah, you would have to travel, but because of the timing, it's going to be virtual.

So, and one of my examiners, Mark Mattis, actually, is, of course, in the United States.

So typically, you know, a UK university like that is not going to fly an American scholar out unless they really, really, you know, feel like it.

But, yeah, sometimes they do them actually at AAR.

If they have an American scholar, they could do an exam at AAR.

Find an empty room and do it that.
