| 0:00.0 | Hello there and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. |
| 0:21.8 | My name is Caleb and I am joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith and Dr. Adam Francisco to continue our very preachy, why you should series on the Thinking Fellows. |
| 0:34.0 | The Thinking Fellows is brought to you by the 1517 podcast network of shows. |
| 0:38.5 | You can go to 1517.org slash podcasts to see all of our shows there. And of course, 1517 is more than |
