This was our episode from 2 weeks ago HOWEVER we were told that Sean was too quiet. Apologies! This was redone (and checked first) to make sure that it's all right this time around. Kate Cavanaugh's episode will be up on Tuesday after an unplanned week with no upload from us. Thank you for bearing with our recent technical difficulties!
