   An unexpected development!

   I've been invited to host a realtime audio show on the phone app Clubhouse. If you are on Clubhouse or join it, you can listen in or ask to participate in the conversation. Look for me by my name or for the room named Political Dharma. (Yeah, I've gone back to that because it is unique and I already had a logo I can use.)
