I had an email from Maxinne in Scotland yesterday asking if I had any recordings of Father John Doe and as it turns out I have quite a few. So, I took 2 separate speaks he did (I have no idea where or when they were recorded) and used them to create this episode. The first topic he shares on is honesty and the second is humor, he jumps right into both of these and I added a brief click track between the subjects to note the topic change.
