You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hi listeners, there will unfortunately be a one-week delay before the next full-length episode.

The good news is that not all of my classes ended up being canceled this semester, leaving me with a significantly reduced income

Head over to Patreon, pledge some support, and check it out.
