Hello and welcome to The Great Beyond, the Is This Good companion pod, where we'll follow up on last

week's episode, answer listener questions, and catch up with each other. So, hi, J.D. How are you? Welcome to

the Great Beyond, the first mini-sode. The mini-sode. Thanks for having me. It's great to be here.

Very excited to do some follow-up.

What do you think about the term minisode? I think, I don't really understand it. So what do we say, what's a mini-sode? Like five minutes, ten minutes? Well, I mean, I didn't have a time

Or more importantly, we'll get YouTube comments or Twitter DMs, people commenting on the show or how they would answer those questions.

And then by the time the next episode comes around, it feels weird they would answer those questions. And then by the time the next episode
