info_outlineYay! Emily is back this week! And she’s working on getting back to her own self lately.
A head’s up. This episode was recorded March 12, 2020. At the time of recording, we were just beginning social distancing and learning about the seriousness of COVID-19. Please bear with us while we try to find a balance between entertainment and sensitivity to the topic.
