Granted, it's not an unusual occurrence, but it's been a tough week for audio excellence here in Big Boo land. Please forgive the absence of consistent volume on my end of things. Plus, Melanie and I recorded this episode in about three different installments because, well, life. However comma our sound gets sorted out by the 30-minute mark (better then than never, right?), and we did manage to have a fairly coherent conversation about our current college baseball situations as well as some thoughts about Taylor Swift's latest offering. Look at us persevere!

We also discuss my very late arrival on the Bridgerton train, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
