    Special Announcement
    May 7 2024

    This isn't exactly an episode. It's really an announcement. First, I'd like to let you know I'll be starting a YouTube version of if the PHRASE fits. It's the same concept and name, but with graphics! Hope you enjoy it. Second, in order to develop the YouTube channel, I'm stepping back from writing and producing the audio podcast. All the podcasts will still be available if you'd like to review any of the previous 52 episodes. Thanks for your support over the last year!
