Hello folks. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Welcome, whenever, wherever you are

choosing to listen to another episode of our podcast. I was about to say weekly, but at the

much for listening to us. If this is your first time listening, welcome along to the gang.

Every week and in every episode of this podcast,
