So sorry for the late upload, friends. And I'm afraid even for all that, it's not a, "typical," episode, either. I have several great interviews with very cool guests all in the edit-phase and didn't manage to get one ready for this weekend, so instead I'm pulling out the first chapter of an audiobook production I've been putting together of this 123-year-old book about bagpipes you may've heard about - I hope it's reasonably enjoyable! Thanks again for tuning in, and have a lovely week!
Tune into this episode to hear Jim mispronounce so, so many names...
