PROGRAMMING NOTE: ****As January 30th, listeners in the U.S. were unable to stream the original version of the program due to U.S. streaming laws. Therefore, Episode #40 has been edited (content removed) in order to comply with the rules. Apologies to anyone in the U.S. that had trouble streaming the original version of the program. I also left the original version up for anyone that cares to stream outside of the U.S. ****
