Hey, everyone! Listen to the intro for the longer version of this, but for family-related reasons, I'm putting the podcast on indefinite hiatus. I'm not sure if I will leave the podcast live online or if I will pull it down, but please go back and listen to previous episodes just in case. I may return to the podcast, but I also may not; I just need to take some time for life to settle.
