PODCAST, Ep. 129 – Spring Book Preview and The Theory of Everything (a Play!)

Hello, quarantined listeners! It’s us, the quarantined podcasters! We apologize for the audio of this episode, which is not of the high quality to which you have become accustomed. This is because one of us didn’t have a good-quality mic (we are procuring one!) and one of us did have a good quality mic but failed to use it when recording in Zencastr because we, and by we I mean I, Gin Jenny, are gently losing our wits. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below, or download it directly to take with you on the go!
