No, episode 007 isn’t about spies onboard, but readers are quite involved in helping to find stories.

Since Youtube Comments are typically a vast, brain-free wasteland of obliviocy, I’m putting the videos on my site where there can be intelligent discussion. The comments are NOT a place to ask questions.

    I like the audio version. My wife is blind and my second stroke messed up my speech so the audio version really helps her.
