This week, Pyro does the podcast old-school and records in traffic, as the name of this podcast states, and it goes about as well as you can imagine. This was also supposed to be a 3-month goal update, but instead became an inner-work therapy moment with some simple yet profound realisations being made.

Also, apologies for the audio quality, next week will be back to the usual set-up.

Song of the week: None, because I forgot how to podcast when not sitting down.
