(Also: I just want to apologize for some of the audio quality.  There was an issue with one of the mics picking up Richard in the background, which let to some syncing issues (of which I took care of as much as I could).  Add to that a brief Audacity crash near the end (which you will most likely notice, because I wasn’t going to edit out part of Richard’s peek), and you have the episode that was a bit of a challenge for me to work on, but I got working anyways, because I love you all.  You ‘re welcome :) – MT)
