Happy Waning Crescent Snow Moon.
This month’s podcast was long in the making, but out in the wild white yonder at last. Snow is everywhere. It’s biting cold. We should all be in bed with a book (or a podcast!). But the days are getting longer and the light is coming back.

And even thought the sky is dark, we’re still gaining more than 2 minutes of sunlight each day. It’s the perfect time to listen to a podcast and enjoy the snow.
