Welcome to Season Two!  I'm starting with an observation that, while dated in this piece, is, seemingly, eternal...but doesn't have to be!

For this season, I've accepted that I won't be updating my website, susanvollenweider.com with each new episode so if you want to keep up, subscribe on whatever podcatcher you're using right now! Please and thank you!

I'm going to have to call this the end of season one (which is twice as long as I had originally intended) but I'm going to do so with a piece that means a lot to me. If you're curious, it took me four times to get through part of it.

Thank you for joining me this season, I'll be back in a month or so with season two! If you subscribe on whatever podcatcher you're using, you'll be notified when season two starts.

See you then! Bye! (Oh, oops, wrong podcast.)
