2023-02-091h 05The Howling Salt MineHSM 33: Updated RemarksHey Prospectors.
This episode is a little different from our normal episodes, and that is because we have removed Episode 33 from our podcast stream. This episode featured a guest that we have since come to learn behaved in a way that is firmly out of line with our values and the values of the podcast. Because of that we felt it was best to simply remove this episode.
So with that in mind, jump on to the next episode. Keep the salt train rolling, and thanks again for listening.
Thank you for understanding...
