Hey there and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. We are coming to you with the, what should be the first episode in March, which is pretty exciting. This is our third month and our third year of podcasting. And we are continuing to follow this new model. And I guess it's not really new when you're about 10 episodes in. And that's where we do

different topics every week, instead of doing what we did in our first two years, which were

essentially seasons with a particular set of topics in mind for somewhere between 15 and 30 episodes.

I know that's quite a bit. We have very long seasons. But what we're doing now is because we've

built up such a substantial catalog of episodes

within these various topics, we thought, hey, why don't we go back and every month maybe

recover something we need to touch back on or find things that we missed in those old seasons

that we weren't able to get to and do and then just spread them out throughout the month.

That way, if somebody is tired of hearing about doctrine, they can just, they still have an

apologetics episode to listen to every month, or they still have a history episode to listen to

every month. And we've been trying to do Q&A episodes every month as well. So we're getting to

listener questions live on the show, which is nice because

as a podcast that has hosts who travel, we often have to record many shows at a time in

advance. So when listeners ask us questions about a show, it could have been up to five weeks ago

that we recorded that episode. And now that we're trying to do a Q&A

more than once or twice a year, we can actually get to those questions a little closer

to when people ask them and do them live on the show and kind of take those questions that

we think, hey, we should really broadcast these instead of just

writing an email back to the person and do those. So we'll have one of those this month in March,

but we're going to start off with an episode that's somewhere between doctrine and history,

or it falls into both, because we're going to talk about the formula of Concord today.

And this is following in that same vein as where last month we talked about Luther's Small Catechism, we're going to talk about the formula of Concord today. And this is following in that same vein as where last month we talked about Luther's
