Interview with a Mason
Don't tell Andy but releasing this chat was the backup-backup plan for today's solemnity, The Assumption. Plan A was Episoder 0.14, which iis rolling along with a hopeful ETA of "later this month", but I'm only going to formally commit to more content to commemorate All Saint's Day, November 1st. Plan B ran out of time because 24 hours a day wasn't enough time to listen to all the podcasts inspired by Rex Factor. More on that later--AFTER 0.14, which WILL be the next thing on this feed, whether on 11/1/22 or before. Apologies for the lack...
