Notes from Travelcommando:

Hey, everybody! I am so proud to bring you this podcast from such an amazing location. It was a little windy for the interview portion. I had a windscreen but thought I had forgotten it. Later, I found it trapped under a velcro flap. So there's a bit of wind noise here and there, but I ran the whole show myself with ear buds, and the situation was totally bearable. Antonio is great. I am very happy to state that most of any background noise consisted of birdsong.

Thanks!
