In this episode of Venice Talks, Monica meets Shanti Ganesha, founder of Meracu, a contemporary leather workshop in Venice.We talk about the first moment leather felt like a language, the leap that led to opening a workshop in 2022, and how living between Venice and India shapes a design identity that feels built into every piece, not added on.From material to method, we explore how a hide is chosen, what certified vegetable tanned leather changes over time, and why some steps cannot be rushed. We also get into the unseen side of independent craft: refusing serial production, learning to say no, and answering the question every artisan hears sooner or later, “Can you make it exactly the same?”A conversation about hands, time, and integrity, with Venice as a living backdrop where making still means something.Show key notesShanti Ganesha, founder of Meracu, on building a leather workshop in Venice (2022)Between Venice and India: how heritage becomes structure, not decorationChoosing a hide, reading grain and scars, and working with certified vegetable tanned leatherThe slow step you cannot rush and the signature gesture that reveals the makerRefusing serial production, learning to say no, and answering “Can you make it identical?”Looking ahead: collaborations, apprentices, and a five year vision for the workshopCall to action

Microplastics are invading your brain, blood, hormones, and fat tissue, and most people have no idea how deep the damage goes. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey and microplastics expert Josephine Musco break down exactly what these particles are doing inside your body and give you a practical, science-backed action plan to detox, protect yourself, and take back control of your biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get a discount on Olyxir Tea by going to https://www.olyxir.com/ and using code ‘Dave10' at checkout Josephine Musco is a multidisciplinary entrepreneur, Demeter-certified biodynamic farmer, and winemaker at Chateau Bellevue 1881 in Livermore, California. She is the founder of Olyxir Tea Strips and holds two scientific patents rooted in her deep expertise in botanical medicine and regenerative health. She is best known for translating complex research on aging, nutrition, environmental toxins, and functional medicine into practical daily habits, and for her work exposing microplastics and PFAs as one of the most underestimated drivers of accelerated biological aging. Dave Asprey and Josephine cover the full picture: how nanoplastics cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in postmortem brain tissue, how endocrine disruption from plastics tanks testosterone and drives fat storage, and why your teabag, canned soup, and yoga pants may be among your biggest sources of daily exposure. They also go deep on real solutions, from lymphatic drainage protocols and infrared sauna to supplements like chlorella, lactobacillus, and olive leaf polyphenols that actively help the body clear microplastics and support longevity and brain optimization. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, anti-aging, metabolism, brain optimization, supplements, human performance, and smarter not harder approaches to living clean in a toxic world. If you drink tea, cook with plastic utensils, or wear synthetic workout clothes, this episode will change how you make decisions every single day. You'll Learn: Why 0.5 percent of postmortem brain tissue is now made of microplastics and what that means for neuroplasticity and cognitive decline How microplastics mimic estrogen, disrupt metabolism, and make it nearly impossible to lose fat The link between microplastic plaque in carotid arteries and a 4.5x increased risk of cardiac events Which everyday sources, including teabags, canned soup, cookware, and plastic cutting boards, are silently loading your body with nanoplastics How lactobacillus reduced microplastics in the blood by 82 percent in studies, and which other supplements support detox Why Dave Asprey drinks Danger Coffee from a metal container and what his full microplastic reduction protocol looks like How olive leaf polyphenols, with 26,215 micrograms per gram, act as powerful free radical scavengers to support brain optimization and anti-aging The morning lymphatic activation routine that combines rebounding, herbal strips, and whole body vibration for deep cellular detox Why AI and citizen science are accelerating our understanding of microplastic damage faster than traditional medicine Thank you to our sponsors!

With the world feeling a bit uncertain at the moment we wanted to talk about some of the fragrances that help us feel better.Here's what we mention:Acqua Di Parma Colonia Il Profumo Millesimato ‘To mark the 110th anniversary… Expertly distilled over 24 hours and delicately fractionated, the 2024 harvest of Ylang-Ylang from Nosy Be amplifies the vibrancy of the citruses and gives density and depth to the perfume. Italian bergamot, blood orange, petitgrain and grapefruit open the composition with a golden freshness, while rosemary, orange leaves absolute, patchouli, and vetiver give structure and sophistication to this citrus aromatic creation.' Zara Jo Malone The Golden LullabyCreed Wild Vetiver‘Experience untamed elegance with Wild Vetiver, a composition sculpted by an unexpected harmony of timur berry, rose centifolia and noble vetiver.'(inspired by an English garden party wandering into the wild. Wild Vetiver is a fragrance off the beaten path, walking the line between precise refinement and nature. Born from noble roots yet spirited in its freedom, this sculpted composition reveals a vibrant tension between sophistication and wilderness. Opening with the spiced vibrancy of hand-harvested timur berry, the heart unfolds as rose centifolia rambles freely. At the base, vetiver casts a woody trail, grounding the composition with modern elegance. This is an enchanting journey through an aristocratic garden, where halcyon moments and the joy of missing out drift through the air.)Chloe Nomad Eau de Parfum NaturelJo Malone London English Pear & Sweet Pea ‘Sun-warmed orchards spring to life as tempting green pears fill the branches. The luscious fruits enveloped in softly scented pastel sweet peas, nestled on a base of powdery white musk.'“I can't help but smile when I wear English Pear & Sweet Pea. It's playful,subtle and instantly makes my day better.” – Lizzy JaggerJo Malone London English Pear & Freesia(Georgia May Jagger wears): ‘Orchards steeped in golden sunshine, warming the russet curves of luscious pears. The sensuous freshness of the just-ripe fruit wrapped in elegant white freesias, enhanced with rose and rooted in patchouli.'“I love it because it's classic and elegant. I feel I can reach for it every dayand wear it anywhere. It's really timeless.”– Georgia May JaggerVilla BullogniaMaya Njie Aethi Opum ‘When the rain subsides, black pepper, aidan fruit and vanilla warm up the earth with the sun. Aromas of coffee, vetiver and leather stir with thiouraye (churai) incense over formations of stone.The ancient keeper of lore secretly adorns itself with bark and leaves, its presence seen only by the vultures circling the skies above.'Black Pepper, Wet Earth, Aidan Fruit, Thiouraye incense (Churai) Vetiver, Papyrus, Coffee, Iris, Suede, Frankincense, Vanilla, Leather.Ormonde Jayne Bijou Zafran‘Celestial, A Spell in a BottleSaffron, red gold on skin, trailing fire spun in silk, flares like a comet in slow motion.It's not perfume. It's a presence, a spell in a bottle, softly dangerous, strangely celestial.Every turn of the head feels choreographed by desire. It doesn't shout, it smoulders.Wear it when you want the world to lean in just a little closer.'HEAD: Saffron, PearHEART: Cypriol, Iris, BenzoinSOUL: Patchouli, Musk, Mineral Amber, Vanilla Bean, Leather AccordThameen Centre StageOlfactive O New Earth (Soon to be launched…) Green, earthy, petrichor: loamy, soaked soil after the rain, the sense of nature nurturing.

Send a textWhat if the secret to IML isn't the perfect body or the flashiest gear, but ruthless intention and a calm breath before every answer? International Mr. Leather 2025, René Hébert, joins us for a rare, no-spin walkthrough of what it really takes to prepare, compete, and live the title year without losing yourself. From his first sash as Western Canada Leatherboy to Mr. Palm Springs Leather and the big stage in Chicago, René charts the skills that actually move the needle: community ties, stage comfort built in the Imperial Court, and a plan for every outcome.We dig into the parts most folks only whisper about. Gear strategy starts with identity, not shopping lists; your bio must be defensible; and eight-minute interviews reward succinct, memorable answers over monologues. René explains how researching judges sharpens your read of vague questions, why the physique segment is more about vulnerability than abs, and how to design a 90-second speech with a clean arc and a hard-hitting closer. He also opens the back door on the title year: a dedicated inbox to tame hundreds of DMs, the real costs hidden in meals and rideshares, and the boundary work it takes to keep the sash from swallowing your life.There's more. We talk rule changes and the one-shot-only debate, forging a title year that reflects your values instead of copying past winners, and why immigration, trans rights, and current controversies will be on the table when judges meet you. René shares the shock of a forced move to Montreal, the strain of long-distance love, and the small daily practices that make resilience real. We close with practical advice for contestants and a listener Ask Edge on balancing kink with everyday life and building real friendships.If you care about Leather, Kink, IML prep, interview strategy, speechwriting, boot black culture, or sustainable leadership, this conversation is your blueprint.

Welcome back to another episode of BUTT HONESTLY with your ever-curious hosts, Dr. Carlton and Dangilo—where the stethoscopes are polished and the tea is always piping.This week, the boys roll out the rhinestone-studded red carpet for a guest who does not simply enter a room—she arrives. We are thrilled to welcome the incomparable Honey Davenport. You know her from RuPaul's Drag Race, but that's just the glitter on top. Honey is a recording artist, actor, DJ, dancer, pageant queen (20 crowns and counting, because moderation is overrated), activist—and, casually, the reigning Mr. Palm Springs Leather 2026. Yes, darling. Multifaceted doesn't even begin to cover it.In this episode, Honey talks about artistry without apology, activism with impact, and what it means to command both the stage and the leather community with equal authority. From pageant polish to political purpose, she shares how performance and power can live in the same perfectly contoured face.Dr. Carlton and Dangilo, of course, do what they do best—ask the smart questions, toss in the dry humor, and occasionally clutch their pearls in admiration. It's a conversation about legacy, community, resilience, and yes, a little bit of fabulous mischief. Press play. Because when Honey Davenport is in the building, you don't just listen—you witness.

Brian shares his thoughts on watching both “Pillion” and “Heated Rivalry” a second time. A listener who's a lawyer provides feedback on the advice given when a question about signing an NDA was posed during a recent Go Ask Your Dad segment. The Hookup of the Week is the story of an encounter that inspires the submitter to be more specific about the information he provides when meeting people on the apps so as to avoid medical emergencies. Brian and Judson are then joined by drag icon, RuPaul's Drag Race alum and reigning Mr. Palm Springs Leather, Honey Davenport! Honey talks about their entree into the leather community over the last few years, bridging the drag and leather sides of their persona, why it's important to address them as Honey, their thoughts on a return to Drag Race, their journey into adult content creation, the childhood origins of their activism and community service, and the need for mentorship in the queer community. They also tell us about the launch of their line of tights designed for the drag community, Honey's Hose, detail how they fit into the Davenport family tree, and talk about their various relationship statuses as a polyamorous person. Honey then joins Brian and Judson in responding to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a non-binary listener curious for thoughts on how to signal on the apps that Daddy and femme can co-exist early enough in a conversation to ensure expectations are set and met while keeping it sexy.

IMatt sits down with Shane from Bow the Maker to talk about the tools every leatherworker thinks they need — and the ones that actually matter.From $12 Amazon pliers to top-shelf skiving knives, they break down which tools perform, which ones disappoint, and how to buy smarter without wasting money. The two also tackle social media “tool envy,” influencer reviews, and how to build a functional bench setup at any level.“You don't need the prettiest tools — you need the ones that work for you.”
Send in your music story!A glam-flash falsetto, a roundhouse kick, and a gut-punch truth about making art in a feed-driven world—this conversation with Adam from The Pseudo Cowboys is a ride. We open on the band's signature blend of theater and grit: 80s-tinted vocals, Prince-like swagger, and riffs that feel built for sweat and stage lights. From the arena-sized squeal of The Hero Song to the sly innuendo of Cosplay Rock, Adam shows how to keep rock fun without losing the craft, and why a wink can make a chorus hit harder.Then we wade into deeper waters. Weekly Existential Crisis looks at comparison spirals, doomscrolling, and what happens when algorithms rewire our sense of self. Adam balances darkness with play—serious themes wrapped in hooks that stick. We swap stories about the post-pandemic scene flip, the surge of young guitar bands, and how a night out can still end at Waffle House with a melody ringing in your ears. His love for video-making turns songs into mini-worlds: Vacation Sex is both comedy gold and married-with-kids realness, while The Hero Song channels action-movie myths with high kicks and higher notes.Under the glitter, there's a working philosophy of modern success: real relationships over fame, Patreon over platform roulette, and local scenes over faceless curation. Adam is candid about home-studio access, the glut of releases, and why community must become the new quality control. He's clear on AI, too—useful as a tool, hollow as a storyteller—and argues for protecting the human spark that unites strangers when a chorus lands just right. We close with dream collabs (Justin Hawkins, Billy Corgan), road stories with Marcy Playground and Spin Doctors, and a chaotic “song or euphemism” game that somehow ties it all together.If you love high-energy rock with brains, jokes, and heart, you'll feel right at home here. Hit play, meet The Pseudo Cowboys, and tell us which track grabbed you first.

Vegan leather. Faux leather. Synthetic leather. Call it what you want - it's everywhere, especially in the shoes on our feet. For some shoppers, it's about saving money. For others, it's about protecting animals or reducing their environmental footprint. But what's the real story behind this fast-growing alternative? And is vegan leather actually better for the planet?

Wine Barrels, Duomo Marble, and Florence: Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026I've been away from Florence for 25 years. I didn't know there was a guitar company like this back home.At NAMM 2026, I found Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars—a boutique manufacturer based in the heart of Tuscany, building instruments that are equal parts guitar and artwork.Paoletti does something no one else does: they build guitars from chestnut wood sourced from Italian wine barrels. The material offers a wide harmonic spectrum, but it's difficult to work with. You need to know how to handle it. Founder Fabrizio Paoletti figured it out, and now every guitar they produce shows the natural grain—no opaque finishes, no hiding the wood.The craftsmanship runs deep. Bridges, pickguards, pickups—all made in-house. Necks carved from Canadian maple, roasted on-site. 99% of the process happens in Tuscany. As Filippo put it, "Kilometer zero." Zero miles. Everything local except the screws.Their model is 100% custom. You don't buy a Paoletti off the rack. You tell them your style, your sound, the genre you play. They build around your vision while keeping the Italian essence intact—chestnut wood, Italian-made components, tailored to your idea.But what stopped me cold was the Duomo collection.Eight individual guitars, each hand-engraved by Fabrizio Paoletti himself. Three years of work. The subject: Florence's cathedral—the Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore.This isn't just decoration. Paoletti secured an official partnership with the Opera del Duomo, the authority that oversees the cathedral. The back of each guitar reproduces the marble floor pattern from inside the Duomo. And when the collection is complete this October, every guitar will contain an actual piece of marble from the cathedral.I got shivers standing there.This is what happens when guitar making meets Italian heritage. It's not about specs or market positioning. It's about place, history, and craft passed down through generations.Filippo invited me to visit the workshop in Florence when I return in April. I'm going. I want to see where this happens—where wine barrel wood becomes an instrument, where cathedral marble gets embedded into a guitar body, where a team of artisans builds one-of-one pieces for players around the world.Florence is known for many things. Leather. Art. Architecture. The Renaissance itself. Now I know it's also home to some of the most distinctive guitars being made anywhere.Paoletti proves that boutique doesn't mean small ambitions. They're partnering with galleries in Dubai, working with the Duomo authorities, and bringing Florence to NAMM.Not bad for a company I didn't even know existed until I walked the show floor and heard an Italian accent.Sometimes you find home in unexpected places.Marco Ciappelli interviews Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026 for ITSPmagazine.Part of ITSPmagazine's On Location Coverage at NAMM 2026.
Send us a textStepping into Spain with a suitcase full of black leather and a head full of questions, we set out to test whether “international leather” is a real thing or a hopeful myth. From Madrid's meetups to ILBS Sevilla's tenth anniversary, through Torremolinos' Eagle nights and Barcelona's Boxer Café, we map how a shared aesthetic travels while each city protects its own pulse. The takeaway surprised us: gear is a language that crosses borders, but community lives in calendars, group chats, and carefully marked spaces for social connection versus cruising.We unpack what happens when there's no dedicated leather bar, how WhatsApp threads become glue, and why timing your trip around socials beats pinning your hopes on a single venue. You'll hear how a plaza of 150 folks in full gear can erase language barriers, and why kindness at European events felt different from the quiet competitiveness we often bring to U.S. rooms. We talk practicality too—planning travel around local fetish nights, finding hosts through social platforms, and using familiar signals like boots, hankies, and uniforms to be legible without saying a word.The journey closes on a raw note: navigating political dread and creative fatigue while choosing to keep making space for each other. We don't pretend to have a script for hard times, but we do argue for small, sturdy practices—showing up, reaching out, and letting friendliness be infrastructure. If you're plotting your next leather trip, looking for community in your own backyard, or just need a reminder that the language of gear still speaks loudly, this story-driven episode offers both a map and a nudge.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a friend who travels in gear, and leave a review with your city's best leather social—we'll shout out recommendations on a future show.Support the showAsk Edge!

Welcome back to BUTT HONESTLY, where the inbox is full, the opinions are louder, and the hole—emotionally speaking—is packed this week.We're drowning in messages from the Booty Gang, starting with a listener in Minneapolis who's discovered a surprisingly creative way to resist ICE (no spoilers, but it's giving civic duty with flair). Then we head south to Austin, where a friend has some very real, very personal questions about their recent JPOUCH surgery—medical, intimate, and exactly why this show exists. And because balance is important, we also hear from a listener with firsthand experience in a group that gets a little… HANDY. Educational? Sure. Eye-opening? Absolutely.On the road again, Dr. Carlton recaps his trip to Mr. Chicago Leather, bringing boots-on-the-ground reporting and just enough detail to make you grateful this is an audio medium. The guys weigh in on the Grammys and Dangilo fills us in on the latest O'so Sucia event, including what happens when the vibe is hot but the chemistry is… well like a missing persons ad.It's one of those episodes that swings effortlessly between politics, medicine, pop culture, and horny confusion—with professionalism optional and opinions fully formed.As always, the episode wraps with Love Language of the Week, because after all that leather, feedback, and secondhand awkwardness, we still believe in feelings.Press play. Your earbuds can handle it.
Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies!

In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Matt Naughton discuss Pamela Anderson's somewhat infamous adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics anti-hero, Barb Wire!Heroic partial nudity! Conveniently-placed bubbles! Near-lethal stilettos! Great hero shots and abundant aura farming! Awkward and inconsistent narration! Disturbing cybernetic bikini torture! A blowgun disguised as a cigarette! A motorcycle with missiles! A club full of goths and gangsters! Several discussions about contact lenses! Shocking mockery of the obese and the blind community! Possibly the strangest Casablanca remake you've ever seen! Surprisingly decent stunts and chase scenes, including a climactic aerial battle! An interesting cast that includes Udo Kier in a silly wig, Lifeforce's Steve Railsback, Temuera Morrison, Xander Berkeley, Jack Noseworthy, Clint Howard, Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., Victoria Rowell from Dumb & Dumber, and a committed Pamela Anderson as a slightly hotter Snake Plissken/Tom Cody-style hero doing spin kicks and shooting guns in black leather and high heels! A pulpy example of pure 90s sleaze that was merely a better script away from being a camp classic!In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Tron: Ares, Matt Damon & Ben Affleck's new crime thriller The Rip, the new Knives Out sequel Wake Up Dead Man, the dog-centric horror movie Good Boy, and some of his favorite recent action/martial arts movies: Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, Ghost Killer, Bad City, and Baby Assassins 3!You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

We've spent a lot of time on this show digging into the dire state of modern farming and ranching, and the challenging economics for those trying to build a regenerative future. Our guest today, Cate Havstad, is no stranger to these challenges as a first-generation farmer and rancher. That experience led directly to an innovative solution that could be an important missing piece in this economic puzzle.As she explains, only about 65 percent of the cattle she sent out to slaughter was actually used, leaving hides and other materials treated as low-value byproducts rather than essential parts of a living system. That waste isn't just ecological. It's economic, and it puts real pressure on ranchers trying to do things the right way.Cate is changing that. As the founder of Range Revolution, she's building a new market for regenerative hides, turning them into high-quality leather goods while creating an additional revenue stream for ranchers committed to land stewardship. Her work challenges the idea that sustainability and luxury are incompatible, and shows how value-added products can help make regenerative ranching financially viable.In this episode, we dive into: • Why hides have been devalued in the modern meat system • How waste in the supply chain undermines regenerative ranchers • What it takes to build a leather supply chain aligned with land health • Why luxury markets can play a role in regenerative economics • The hidden costs of conventional leather production • How whole-animal utilization strengthens rural livelihoods • What a more honest pricing of materials could unlock for agricultureMore about Cate and Range Revolution:Cate Havstad-Casad is a first-generation farmer/rancher, designer, systems-thinker and agricultural advocate.At the age of 23 Cate founded Havstad Hat Company and began her career as a designer and maker. She has crafted hats for Post Malone, Shania Twain, Kacey Musgraves among other notable pop-culture icons.Cate began farming with her husband in 2014, both first generation farmers. Starting on 5 acres of leased land, Cate and her husband now manage 1400 acres of farmland & rangeland at Casad Family Farms in Madras, Oregon. This work on the ranch and in building markets for regenerative meats informed the launch of Range Revolution in 2021; a category-defining regenerative leather goods company which is building 100% of its products out of traceable American cattle hides coming from verifiably regenerative ranches. Range Revolution addresses the 5 million cattle hides that are thrown into the trash each year, rebuilding systems for whole-carcass utilization, increasing margins for processors and producers, and harnessing brand building to tell stories that reconnect citizens to natural fibers and regional supply chains.

Welcome back! This was the first time I've had an opportunity to film recently! By that, I mean the first time it wasn't below freezing in the last four days, haha. It's kind of wild, because my household hasn't really left the house because of illness and weather for a little over a month except for a road trip. Anyway, I truly hope you all enjoy these leather hand sounds that were requested! Many blessings and the sweetest of dreams!

In what turned out to be one of the more unhinged episodes of the Camerosity Podcast, for Episode 103 the gang didn't get the show announcement out until the day of the recording, but that resulted in a near record number of participants, and without a dedicated topic to discuss, we ran the gamut of topics from Theo's recent acquisition of a local lab's Fuji Frontier Scanner, to a very lively discussion about radioactive lenses and why you should not grind up lens glass and snort it. Joining Anthony, Paul, Stephen, Theo, and Mike on this episode were A.J. Gentile, Dan Cuny, Doug Doyle, Fernando Villava, Greg McCreash, Ira Cohen, Jeremy Scott, Mario Piper, Norris Liu, Pat Casey, Ron Gee, Vlad Kern, Will Pinkham, plus a few others who didn't say anything. The show starts off with Theo telling the tale of how a Frontier scanner is coming to him and that turned into a very lively discussion about all scanning options from using professional scanners, flatbed scanners, and then eventually to digitizing with a digital camera. Returning guest Dan Cuny shares some vintage digital cameras he's been working on reviews for including the 0.3 megapixel Canon PowerShot 350 and the floppy disc Sony Mavica! Continuing on the vintage digital discussion was the revelation that three of the five Camerosity hosts all have the 1990s Minolta RD-175 DSLR! Vlad Kern from ussrphoto.com comes on and shares his recent pickup of a spy camera from a shot down Russian drone found in Ukraine which he recently acquired. Vlad's crazy spy camera looks straight out of a science fiction movie and the hosts wonder how he managed to get that past European and American customs! Of course, we get into a bit of GAS including a follow up to Episode 102 where Ron Gee had ordered an Aero-Liberator camera from John Minnicks, Ron came back to talk about receiving the camera and his initial impressions of it. Other cameras discussed are the Tele and Wide Rolleiflexes, a rare Foth TLR, the 16mm KMZ Narciss SLR, a very strange and rare American camera called the Millfred Cand-O-Matic and I give an update on some leather I purchased for a Leica IIIa that needed to be recovered. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you! Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show. We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. For our next show, Theo will be vacationing in Japan, so he won't be joining us, and there still isn't a topic yet, but Episode 104 will be recorded on Monday, February 2nd at 7pm Central Standard Time and 8pm Eastern Standard Time. Make sure you set your calendars and look out for the show announcement at the usual locations and be prepared to join us!
