Daunted by complex continuity? Can’t tell a mutate from a warpie? We are here for you. We have trained for this responsibility for decades.

If you want to listen to it later, it'll still be here. And if you never want to listen to it, that is absolutely okay, too. We were on the fence about whether to post this episode today. We ultimately decided to go ahead, for two reasons: There's value in routine in the face of tragedy...
