I'm your host, Kelly Chase.

I have a really fun episode for you today,

but before we get started, I have just a couple of quick announcements. First of all, because I've

Sprague, of the phenomenal Somewhere in the Skies podcast. Now, I'm sure that most of you who are

listening are already familiar with Ryan and
