Show notes

During the month of November, I'm going to be experimenting with a few minor tweaks to the show. One of the first changes is putting out the Black History Facts episode on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. So while there is no new episode today it will be out tomorrow. I'll wait to see how things go to determine if the change will be permanent or temporary.
