**Note: Hello, hello. If the audio sounds a bit lousy, apologies, I recorded on my phone after failing to reconfigure my headphones for some reason. It had been a while since I last used them, maybe the firmware needs to be updated. Hopefully that will be sorted out by the time I record the next episode, but if not then it's back to the not-so-smartphone. Thanks for listening and take care!
