I'll bet you're thinking about two things right now. Neither of which are the content of this episode as who would even know what I'm referencing other than someone who is of the same ilk? I'm not talking about the hunter in the forest, or the hunter-gatherer.  I'm also not abbreviating the name of a particular species of bird that likes wood. I'm actually talking about my skills on a non-digital keyboard, a typewriter. You can look it up on Google.

Overlapping dialogue is exactly what it sounds like. Prevalent mostly as a tactic in film making, but quite the unnerving experience when we do it to ourselves. Or is it? I'll address that --- surely you know what I mean --- in a minute ---did I leave the coffee pot on? --- so let's get the program started, shall we?
