Let's call this one the "Before Summer 2022 Hiatus show" :) Yep, we admit it - the summer got away from us and we didn't get this episode out nearly as quickly as intended.  This one has been "in the can" for a couple of months, and we'll let you decide if we brought any heat...

Just in the nick of time, we cross the finish line to round out 2021 and discuss what the past several months has been like for us here at the show. As you know by now, we took a 3-month hiatus and we discuss that happening and what transpired that necessitated the break.  Thanks to everyone who noticed the break, reached out and asked if we were OK - we appreciate each and every one of you!
