We just listened to this, just found it, in fact — yeah, I know, we should be more alert! We were surprised and delighted. John sounds OK, but my voice is very hoarse in this podcast due to the heavy casino smoke we had to go through from our rooms to the convention floor. Thanks again for asking us to your podcast! We do appreciate it.
I do try to navigate Twitter and Instagram, but they are confusing enough that I seldom try. Just an update: the Concordance is on hold for awhile, so I’m working on a series of natural dye booklets, and editing our colored earth website. It would sure help if I knew what I was doing! — Bjo Trimble
