Important Note About Upcoming and Old Episodes
First things first, the episode has already been delayed by a week due to some issues with time for both of us host people. But the episode is now going to be delayed again because the host for our files is currently down. We don’t know what’s going on, but if any downloads or streams do not work for you, it’s not because SandF is broken or defunct or what have you. Everything is fine on our end. Archive.org is simply experiencing some issues. So hang in there. Episode 3.2 will be here as soon as I can get it up! Thanks for your patience!
