Much the way Marc Maron is late to the party when it comes to appreciating Seth Putnam's vast oeuvre, I have been late to the party when it comes to contracting you-know-what. I was not, however, about to let omicron ba.2 prevent me from completing episode 102 of this program, and if you think I'm the sort of person who is above milking this scenario in order to ensure a few extra listeners, you clearly don't know me at all (in fact, I think it's fair to say you're not only late for the party but you've arrived after the punishers / things-that-wouldn't leave have up and left).

That probably won't happen a third time this month but who can really say what the future holds (I could hazard a guess but I’m petty enough to milk the suspense. By any means necessary / whatever it takes in the online radio game.
