Announcements:
- I successfully appealed the removal of episode 60 of my podcast from YouTube because they had said it violated community standards (questioning the integrity of the 2020 US election). I'm happy to say that YouTube has now reinstated the episode.
- As of this episode, the frequency of Writing & Editing changes from 3 times weekly to twice weekly (Monday and Thursday). The idea is to give me a little more free time, to give me more time to work on episodes, and to give you, the listeners, a bit more time to listen to each one by making them a little less frequent.
