| 0:17.6 | Podcast for anyone and everyone who needs a little bit of a break from their own brain. |
| 0:21.7 | I'm really trying hard not to touch my microphone too much because, as always, I've already |
| 0:26.8 | recorded this episode and it was white noise when I played it back. I think it's a problem with |
