    Note: Apologies for the sound on this episode. For some reason Skype defaulted back to the laptop microphone port which I had my iPhone headphones plugged into. I’m not sure why this happened – and I didn’t catch it during the recording. There was also noise and the guest's side my producer John Poelstra did the best he could with, but is still present. That said, I think the quality of the conversation still holds up.
