So here we are. Releasing our December recording only two weeks in. And we are deeply confused.

CW// this book is philosophical af.

We question the sanity of this book. And how fitting considering the state of the world.

Good luck to our audience! And thank you for trying to listen to utter chaos 😂

Due to potentially very foreseeable circumstances, our most recent episode will be delayed by a week or two. For those of us who have a dire need for consistency, we offer our most sincerest apologies. However, if you know the title of our group, none of this should be too much of a surprise.

We will be working to release in early November. We also hope to return to our normally scheduled release for November as well. We’ll call it a Black Friday special.

Wish us luck!

In the year to come, we will be moving forward with our once the month series: Read the World.
BUT we also have some big news! The detours (that we just started lol) may change up their formatting?? Keep an ear out!

We also want to briefly acknowledge the privilege we have to be able to keep creating during these tumultuous times. We may not pray, but we do keep everyone lost to the tragedies taking place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, those impacted by the severe climate changes, and everyone else we are regularly reading about in our hearts and on our minds.

If you can, please donate, volunteer and always continue to educate yourself and those you love.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along and especially to .3 for being such a gracious host(?) I’m not sure that’s the correct word, but we actually couldn’t do this without you.
