December 27, 2022 Last Week of the Year Break
Folks!

I'm taking a week-ish off at the tail-end of 2022, so there isn't a normal episode today (though LKT patrons and Understandary members will receive this month's bonus episode this Thursday as usual).

We'll be back on the normal schedule next Tuesday (the first week of 2023)—thanks so much for listening, and a happy new year to you and yours from here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA :)
