Our final attempt at doing the first episode - we are much more pleased with the quality of this one - please ignore any other “Intoductions” episodes. Please excuse our fumbling attempts at this podcast technology. We will try to gradually improve. Many thanks to Jackie McDermott, a professional podcast producer (and friend) who helped tremendously with her advice in the technique of remote recording and for the other advice. Dave and Rex really appreciate your assistance.
