Yes, I know it's been awhile.
Not only did I record this episode ages ago, but it's a Chat that both of us have been meaning to record for over a decade.
As to why it's taken to so long to get a new episode out, it comes down to the simple fact that I'm working on a NEW BOOK, and find that most of my time is devoted to what has quick...

Well, here’s a project I thought I’d mentioned to you all, but am deeply chagrined to discover I have overlooked sharing until now.
