Our new podcast "Slouching Towards Armageddon" comes out Wednesday, April 9th. I'd like to apologize upfront- there are some audio issues with this episode. Wild echo. I'll have that fixed by the next one. The music is from a voice memo of a chord progression I thought worth recording on November 9th, 2023. In the future I'll have a proper theme song figured out, so for now I'm going to empty loose recordings I have on my phone. This podcast is a learning-by-doing experience, so I appreciate you all for sticking with me. I'm excited to see where the road takes me. I promise it'll be a wild ride.
