You can also listen to us on YouTube, if that&#8217;s your thing (though I&#8217;m still trying to figure that out, so be patient if there are some strange uploads and re-uploads).<\/p>\n<p>We have a lot of episodes recorded already, so the plan is to keep this going bi-weekly for as long as we can stand it . . . and I think we&#8217;ll be able to keep going for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to those who helped make this possible!
