Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.

I'm your host, John Williamson, and this is a bonus episode.

So still hard at work. My voice is a little hoarse right now

and you might be able to tell. I've been doing a ton of recording. Probably more, I've booked

more interviews in the last two months than I think I've done even in previous years. And so

back through our archives. And I realized that in the early days, very, very early days, we're talking the first like month we were in existence. We didn't know what we were going to be quite yet. And so if you go back and listen to the early episodes, audio quality, not great. Adam and I didn't know what we were doing. So you kind of see the growth and the

maturation over time. But we also weren't sure exactly what type of podcast were going to be at that

point. Initially, we thought we were just going to record episodes between the two of us, do heavy

amounts of research and release maybe one a month or so.

And so to provide some additional content, we thought it'd be fun to do recommended readings.
