Episode notes

We have already recorded three episodes of r or deadwood. We're going to be releasing them on off weeks at least for the rest of the summer, and we'll see how far we get. If you want to support us in more tangible ways, a, you can always go to the very bet support page. You could donate to us one time or a recurring donation on pay pal. Or you can become one of our wonderful patr supporters. And we have wrecited because we have anin the works.

David and Tamler find themselves unable to attach rational meaning to a single act in their entire lives. Let’s say we publish more articles and books. What then? What about our kids? They’re going off to college. Why? What for? We think about the future of the podcast.

And we can find absolutely no reply.
