Mark Henkel tells of the pandemic he calls “Covid1984” and both shares & honors two close, helpful, and dear polygamous friends who had passed away.

After noting the change in direction of this podcast to involve his speaking directly to listeners, Mark Henkel observes that, with this Episode #280, this podcast has just crossed the milestone of over 100 hours of audio-content.
