And thank you so much for joining us. Once again, it is the Nightly Pleasures podcast, Season

Two, Episode 2. I am your host and the author of one of the pieces you're going to be hearing

today, The Grey Knight. You can call me Jack. Well, season two is strumming right along,

as you can tell by this broadcast, even if my social media isn't. Apologies for that.

It's just that season two did seem to come along with some real-life events for the podcast,

namely to say, I took a little time away from the keyboard, and Ali, who's a natural Australian,

is actually in America, and she's having a wonderful

trip.

So we're a little bit more quiet than we normally would be, especially with all this great

content coming out.

And speaking of all that great content, don't you want to get to more of it?

I know, I know I was away for far too long in

between the seasons and you miss me, so don't you want to get back into it? Thank you to everybody

who said that they're enjoying the new slash returning segments to the podcast as we get more

official as we roll right along. I'm enjoying it very

much as well. Reading other talented people's work? It means a lot. Thank you to everybody who

reached out to the previous author and who's planning on doing it this week or in the future

if they hear a piece that they like, saying that they heard on the podcast, sharing those particular episodes with friends. It means a lot. After all, every single

podcast that you share here, well, I know that you're sharing me, but the author, who's brave

enough to go ahead and allow us to read their work, they don't, and it can be a real

thrill for them, especially since apparently a couple of them actually have heard of me and

are something of a fan. Blush, blush, emoji blush. Well, that's enough talking about me.
