Tech note: due to tech issues with my Rode mic's cable, this episode had a very slow voice recording for me, with a few buzzing noises here and there which I was not aware of until I listened to it. After hours of work to change the sample rate I rescued our recording but there won't be an identical video as synching is not possible for me. After 6 weeks of mic/computer issues I am finally back to normal! Thanks for your patience! PS The video version has all the original buzziness :)
