So in many ways, is not a special announcement of a season break the most on brand episode we've had? What if it's because of a curse too? Like a hex? Now that's an overlap you can't write except for just immediately before.Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to the first three episodes, and thank you for your patience over the next month or so as we get the rest of the season ready for your ears!Like, Rate and Subscribe to the Podcast!
