Hey y'all, before we get into the show today, I want to let you know about two things that

have happened since the time that I recorded the intro and the outro for today's episode.

And the first thing is, is that I was interviewed for a show called Boldly, which is a new

podcast run by two wonderful ceramic artists. And today my episode went live.

I'm not sure if it's a scam, if it's

somebody trying to rip us off, or what? Well, I checked it out, and it turns out that the people

behind the potters give back Instagram feed are Corey Sandler and Jessica Green that are both

great potters, and they are not trying to scam us. And what they're

the more significant Amazon, the Amazon that'll be here well after the fact of

Amazon.com. Anyhow, they're trying to raise money. Because as you've heard in the news that
