Summary

Halfway through recording our latest episode, Sheryl's voice started to sound like a frog, and then like something else we couldn't identify. Sheryl caught a virus that is causing her to cough and affecting her voice. She should be back to normal next week, and with a new episode. Otherwise, you might have to listen to me (Clark) talking to you about science. 😳 Did you know?
