Hi everyone, Jamie here. It's been a couple months now since the last update on the podcast,

0:07.3

so I thought it's worth just doing a quick message to let you know what's happening.

0:12.6

Basically, I always write the podcast about two or three episodes ahead of the recording,

0:20.0

so I've always got a couple episodes in the backlog.

0:22.8

My problem's been, as I've been working through these episodes, I've not been that happy with them.

0:30.3

I really want to tell the story of the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia. Well, I think it's

0:35.2

one of the most important moments in American

0:37.5

history, and I want it to be perfect. But I'm just not happy with what I've written so far, so I keep

0:42.8

going back and trying to redo it. But as you can tell, with the fact that it's been two months

0:48.1

since an episode came out, I've not been getting very far with it. Though I have just taken a break from the show, I went to the United States

0:58.1

the first time in my life, which was an amazing experience. I went to New York City and went to

1:02.4

Washington, D.C. I got to see the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution,

1:09.2

the White House, capsule, Hill, Blinket Memorial, all of that

1:13.0

stuff. And I've just felt really energized since I've come back. I've been thinking again

1:20.0

about how I can tell the story and I think I'm finally somewhere with it. So I'm going to

1:25.4

have a new go and going back over these old episodes,

1:29.7

rewriting them, and then they should start to drop soon. When I do, I'll probably delete this

1:35.7

little filler episode, but I just want you to know what's going on. So yeah, I hopefully

1:41.3

you should get some of the episodes soon. Take care guys. Bye.
