Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show.

And in a slight change from what you might be used to over the last few months,

I'm not bringing you a video version of this podcast,

although it will still be published onto YouTube

and it still will appear sort of as video on Substack, just for consistency. But the reason I am not
