I have for you a Very Special Episode with some of my best friends, who came all the way from the US to visit me in South Africa. We recorded almost an hour of raw footage, which I was able to easily pare down by cutting out our laughter. The rest you’ll get as a special all-extra bit montage later this weekend, and then we’ll be back to our regular posting schedule with me and Collin this Monday.
I hope you enjoy this podcast 1/100th the amount I enjoyed Abby, Liz, and Kaitlin’s visit, because that will be an incredibly fun experience for you.
