Temporary pause

Greetings to all my friends and listeners. Due to unforeseen dental problems I will not be able to post any more podcasts for a couple months. Looking at social media substitutes until I’m able to get back to voice podcasting. ☮️♥️🙌🏻. I do have a twitter account but given its uncertainty in the recent days Tribal may be a better option. Will keep everyone updated 🫶
