A Special Note
Jean is a paid subscriber of Martin’s One Prime Plus membership program for the shared podcast, Hemispheric Views, and Martin subscribes to her shared service, Micro.blog; this did not influence any of the questions that were asked and did not place any expectations on Jean as a participant of this academic podcasting project.
