Both agreed, however, that it was an excellent example of the genre.Fun Fact Friday™️ took the day off yesterday, and even though Fun Fact Saturday doesn't have quite the same alliterative power, it is in today's episode, so be sure and check that out.Show note imagery: YANN Tiersen, an adept and highly versatile French musician, known for his stunning film scores.Show note URL: Uncanny ValleyWe love feedback!
