This episode isn't so much about The Podcast Academy, Daniel J. Lewis, or abortion as much as it is an opportunity we have as podcasters (and humans) to learn from what happened with The Podcast Academy last week and use it as a catalyst to make the world a better place for everybody.

There may be a "Part 2" to this episode that includes Daniel. I've reached out to him. If you want to make sure you're notified should that happen, subscribe to this podcast and you'll get it automatically.

If you'd like more information on abortion, I recommend you listen to this episode of Science Vs or read this report from the CDC.
