Episode notes

Steph Young: There are a lot of patterns that play here, but I'll give you kind of the format of generally what seems to happen.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
