Hey y’all! Thought I’d read last week’s letter aloud and fire it off as a podcast, just for kicks. I plan to do more in this space in the days ahead—call this a soft launch as I figure out all the tricks. Click the button above to listen, or find it on Spotify. Hope you enjoy! I welcome any feedback.

Big thanks to the NZ Department of Conservation for the birdsong intro. They’ve got a great library you can download for free. Spoiler alert: the podcast bird is not a kiwi, but it’s the coolest NZ bird I can actually hear from my desk.
