Well, the CA Supreme Court has ruled, and for this episode we've put together a small panel to discuss the ruling and its results. Joining us this week are Chris from San Antonio, Matt from Houston, Meredith from Woodlands, Texas, and Jacob from Austin. This episode ended up having a lot of technical difficulties while recording, so the sound quality in places might be a bit lower than usual. Check the feed in a few days for the blooper reel!

Hey there. You've probably noticed that it's been quite a while since the last episode of Equal Measure was released, and I've recorded this message to touch base and to explain what's been going on.

Assembling the material and recording this podcast is a time consuming task, and while it's rewarding work, there have been a number of things that have been keeping me from being able to write and produce episodes, not the least of which is the fact that I've been caught up in the final stages of completing a degree.

Aside from that, I've been trying to expand the scope and capabilities of my equipment, so nbsp;when things get going again I'll be able to make things more interesting and get voices on here other than my own. nbsp;The way I've set things up I'll be able to record phonecalls for the show and I've set up a skype voicemail box that listeners can use to leave feedback and messages. nbsp;Just use skype to call EqualMeasure, one word, and you might even hear your own voice in the next episode.

One of the big things I hope to accomplish is to get a better variety of ideas and opinions on here, so really, feel free to use skype to leave a message, or email me your story at show@equalmeasurepodcast.com.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you, nbsp;and I'll be seeing you in the next episode.
