| 0:15.8 | Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 61 of the Your Morning Basket podcast. I'm Pam Barnhill, |
| 0:23.8 | your host, and I'm so happy that you're joining me here today. Well, we are back. If you are a long |
| 0:31.1 | time Your Morning Basket listener, you notice that this podcast took about a year long hiatus. |
