You see I recorded this episode with the lovely and talented Ashley Erwin nearly three years ago...April 2022, to be exact. Long story short, I pushed it aside to edit it, while waiting for the book to drop, and, well, the book got delayed, I misplaced the show file, and wouldn't you know I found this just this week and thought...why not air it now? Ashley, you don't mind, do you? Maybe it can enjoy a Renaissance.
