2025 re-run bonus notes:   Our first re-run of our return to the practice is also the first-released [second produced] of a trilogy of music blocks. Long-time listeners of the show may already know what I'm talking about, but newer listeners and/or those who do not remember may be perplexed by what I'm talking about. Well, it will all be explained in the intro to the final of the trilogy (releasing in March). DISCLAIMER: the production value was much worse back in 2019.
