We interrupt our regularly scheduled program to say: a new episode with your favorite three ladies is coming in a couple of days!

Let's try this again, this time with the RIGHT audio! It's that time again, folks!

Chapter Nine is here!

It's happening again - another episode for you to listen to (and correctly numbered this time, so you KNOW it's an update)!
