A quick, but important note for our weekly listeners: in this episode, we mentioned our hopes to return to weekly episodes, but since recording this episode we have learned of circumstances with our production team that will reduce the number of episodes we can produce. It's likely that the show will take a brief hiatus of 4-5 weeks until when and if these issues are resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to resume the show as soon as we are able!
