ONE NOTE FROM FARNOOSH: I have to apologize. My audio was getting picked up by my laptop, not my microphone, so my audio is a little more echo-y than usual. I don’t think it’s going to ruin the experience but I had to point it out…since some of you might be wondering… What happened? Rookie podcaster mistake!
