🚨Please Note🚨

This episode was prepared in late November/early December 2022. I learned in mid-December that Google Play Books now allows for multiple narrators in their AI narration tool. (The tool lets you set a "Default narrator" and "Additional characters," with different voices.) Please keep that in mind as you listen to this episode.
