  • Missing Songs from Jason Mankey Yule Interview
    Dec 9 2025

    We are deeply grateful to Ashley, one of our devoted listeners, who let us know we'd goofed in editing the interview and clipped out the first song - and shortened the ending song. While the episode has been corrected some of you may still have the old version. Here is the first song, immediately followed by the full last song so you don't have to go back and find it.

    Thank you all for your patience and understanding!
