A little note on this episode and future uploads: I've not been happy with the sound quality of my podcast for a while now, so, after doing some research and a bit of tweaking, I think I've figured some things out and have a better experience for you in this episode. I hope you agree and find that this episode is more listenable than previous entries. Going forward, I will continue to try to find ways to make the listening experience here the best it can be. As always, thanks so much for listening, and I look forward to many, many more chapters, volumes and novels in the weeks/months/years to come. Happy holidays!
