Time for a riddle: This thing can be annoying, effective, and fun. I'll repeat it, this thing can be annoying, effective, and fun.
In this episode we explore the strange paradox of repetition. Repetition is widely utilized in a variety of ways, every single day of our lives. We utilize it to bring comfort and to be annoying. It helps us remember that name, that number, and to please hold, because someone will be right with us. It is also symbolic in times of celebration, defeat, and all of our efforts in between.
He hope you enjoy this silly little episode. We really do hope you enjoy it!
