    A Quick Announcement

    After some careful consideration we decided to shelve this release. We felt it was not up to our standards both content and delivery-wise, and we would much rather take the extra time to produce something we can more confidently stand behind. We sincerely appreciate your understanding. The next episode will follow our usual schedule and will release on Monday, September 4th.
