Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb, and today we have the whole crew back together again after a long summer of recording individual episodes.

I'm here with Dr. Rosenblot, Dr. Keith, and Dr. Francisco. So I think it's been like eight or nine episodes since we've all been in the same room together.

It's been at least since we've moved out in the same room together it's been at least since we've

moved out of the san juan house so um weeks yeah yes it's been a it's been a long time so we finally

are all back together things are a little bit more normal we're still not in our full studio so we're in

kind of a compromise still in limbo studio we have the old recording rig that we used to use set up right now but we're in kind of a compromise. We're still in limbo. We have the old recording rig that we used to use set up right now.

But we're in a nice echo-free room.

So it shouldn't matter.

So yeah, it's pretty good.

My mic might sound different.

It's different than everybody else's mics today.

So we're just trying to get that all figured out.

But we have a guest with us today.

We have Wade Johnston here.

How are you doing?
