The 1st Episode is Finally Up!

I'm sorry to take so long to post the episode, but right as I was editing it, I got a call from my mother telling me that my uncle had passed away.  I just now got the episode edited and posted.  Hopefully, it'll appear on iTunes in a day or so.  In the meantime, you can listen to it here.
