Summary
Part one of our re-release of the Shy'Kemmia Pate series includes a brief update, as well as a remaster of the series.

| 0:00.0 | As we begin this re-release, we want to offer a small, not very important note, but it's |
| 0:06.0 | going to slow down the emails that we might otherwise get. |
| 0:09.6 | We had to record a section in the final episode of this series to replace an interview, which |

| 0:17.2 | Many listeners of early episodes have noted that my voice sounds different now, deeper, |
