Dear Listener,
During the recording of this podcast we had issues that prevented Brad's audio from coming through. I have decided to edit the shit out of this anyway, out of respect for our guest who is welcome back anytime. The conversation was fruitful enough that I believe it's worth putting out there.
Apologies in advance.
-Management
