Hello, Northern Exposure fans.

I'm coming to you with my colleague, my friend Janine Turner, who is down in Texas. You can see she's in her car. Normally, she's in her little home studio, but her mom is in the hospital with a, she had a hip replacement.

Yeah, she broke her hip. She broke the femur bone beneath the right where the hip is. So she had to have surgery.

So Janine, being the good daughter that she is, has been selflessly taken care of her mom, and she didn't want to miss this,

so she's in the parking lot outside of the hospital. But she look great, as always, and I'm glad

you're here. I'm glad your mom is doing okay. Thank you. Thanks, Rob. Good to see you.

It's always a breath of fresh air to see you and watch the show. It's always a, it's always a inspiration.

So thank you.

Thank you for your thoughts and appreciate it.

I've been texting Rob through this whole process, giving them the updates.

You have.

And I've been sending my good thoughts and hoping for the best and it looks like it's working out. So this episode is, this is a fun one, this is a hunting we will go. And it was written by Craig Volk, who only wrote one episodes, which is why I don't really remember him, and I don't know if we even ever met.

And it was directed by our great friend and director Bill DeLeia, who when I was looking up his credits, I knew he directed a lot.

He directed six episodes, and they're all kind of iconic, or most of them.

Listen to the ones Bill DeLeah directed.

War and Peace, Only You, a hunting we will go, Northern Lights, Unavolto Inverno, and Fish Story.

Those are some big episodes.

And when directors get gigs on TV shows, it's usually not for a script.

They just get slotted in and then the script comes along.

So he ended up getting the draw of some pretty great episodes.

But our special guest today is a friend of mine, a great guy, and a super talented

and prolific composer.
