From the White-PillBox: Podcast #31

Enjoy the replay of our Livestream held on April 19, 2025!

I apologize for the audio issues in the first 15 minutes. The original came out almost inaudible, so I used a marginal tool to fix the audio and sync it with the video. It’s not great but way better than it was. And it’s much better after that.
