  • Episode 58: Confessions of a Hunter-Pecker.

    Please text me what you think of this episode. I would love to hear from you.

    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.
