Once a month this year, I'm going to ask you a question and use those answers for an episode. I want to understand you more and in general, get a better understanding of what you like and dislike.

Love this episode. Only THE Dave Jackson can pull off an episode that includes a clip from a BDSM podcast (how’d that song go again Dave?) and also a clip from somebody that does a creation science podcast! Nice job on the diversity front Dave.
