The Welcome back to Nomad Podcasts. I'm Tim Nash, and this is still Joy Brooks.

Hello. We're recording this a week or so after the Greenbelt Festival, which is for those who don't know an annual art activism and faith festival in England.

So my question to you, Joy, is, have you recovered yet from

Greenbelt? Did you have a good time? And what were the highlights for you? Okay, question number one,
