On another note, I know Bob has three recordings this upcoming week. I'm wondering if we can get two of them ready by the end of the week? (full podcast + clips). I am expecting my first baby in the next couple of weeks and would like to get his show scheduled out and work ahead so that we won't have too many disruptions. Could that be possible? Thank you!
