Hey it Seth, and this is a short introduction to a Kimbo.

This wasn't intended to be a current events podcast, but current events have made it current. Week after a week for a couple years we've been talking

about the culture, changing the culture, how ideas spread, the whole idea of viruses.

And now in March 2020, as I'm recording this,

the world is turned upside down.

No matter where you are, no matter what you do,

this is top of mind. It is tempting and perhaps might be

helpful for every future episode of akimboe to be about what we're dealing with

right now.

But sometimes we need to take a longer view.

And it's also worth noting that we are in for a very long slog,

but we will get to the other side. And so, going forward, while A Kimboe may touch on the issues of the day,

it is not a current events podcast, and I'm going to go ahead and make

episodes and have been making episodes that have been queued up about our culture

in general. If you or people in your family are dealing with a health crisis, my

heart goes out to you. For all of us, here's to peace of mind and a speedy recovery, to our health and to our culture because it's time, it's

always time for us to make things better.

Thank you for listening.

Here's our episode.

30 years ago, if you were growing up in Roundup Montana,

you probably worked in a coal mine.

And if you were working in a coal mine.
