This is just a little scheduling note for how the next couple months of the podcast feed are going to look.

November is mostly going to be dark, except for Bonus B-Side episodes popping up on Patreon and Ko-Fi throughout the month. I will also be making guest appearances on a couple podcasts as well…

Soundtrack Your Life - https://soundtrack-your-life.captivate.fm/

The State Of Love And Trust - https://shows.acast.com/state-of-love-and-trust

Pick A Disc - https://wemadethisnetwork.com/category/podcasts/music-podcasts/disc/

December will finish off the final three of Pearl Jam’s Christmas related songs from Fan Club Singles (along with a Year End Music episode in the bonus feeds).

And January will be dark, as well, as I finish recording the LOST DOGS season, and start putting together the Self-Titled Pearl Jam season.

Remember, you can also donate to your own local food bank at https://www.feedingamerica.org/ and send me a screenshot of your receipt to access all bonus episodes!
