This is The Voice of the Report of the Week, signing on.

Well hello ladies, gentlemen and everyone listening in, welcome one and all to this newest

edition of VORW International, the podcast, presumably the late December 2022 edition, probably

right after Christmas, if I had to take a guess.

Hope everyone out there tuning in is feeling and doing all right and I hope you had of course

if you celebrate Christmas, hope you had a very pleasant one, no matter what, hope you

had a nice holiday season.

So this program, I don't really know what to call it, I suppose I could really say that

about any show that I do, it is what it is, it's kind of purposeless if I had to give

my opinion on it, I just get to the microphone and babble for about an hour or two or three

or more, but people listen, for reasons I will never understand.

So here I am once again at the microphone, but I suppose you could call this an update

show at least to an extent because there are certain updates that I'd like to give.

And admittedly, it was my intention to have this show sent out a little bit earlier than

it actually was through that I apologize, but there's good reason why I don't have this

show on an explicit schedule because things like this do happen, but anyway, so some of

these updates may not be the most punctual in the world, but there are things that I wanted

to talk about, nonetheless, things I wanted to bring up.

Now the way I do this show, and I've talked about this before, I recorded in segments,

and I recorded a segment, let's say two weeks ago, and then I recorded another segment

a week ago, etc. So it's kind of been put together in a piecemeal sort of fashion over

the course of the month of December.
