Add another task to your own Roughly Quarterly schedule of Things That Need To Be Addressed...or not, it's up to you! Seriously, though, don't let it ride for years like I did. Stay on top of your files so you don't run into an unpleasant situation where you lose something more important than two minutes of a podcast recording. xo Jess

Enjoy the entirety of the theme song, which is Deviate by Podington Bear. See you next week!
