Show Notes
Typically Another Name for Every Thing is recorded months apart from it's actual release date on the grounds of the Center for Action and Contemplation. In light of the crisis facing our world with the pandemic, COVID-19, we are taking a break from airing Season 3 of Another Name for Every Thing to reflect on the reality around us. On March 20th, most of our production team gathered via Zoom to record this special episode (on Richard's 77th birthday 🥳). Next week, we will continue to air our planned episodes from Season 3. In the mean time, we are looking at ways to revise our production schedule so that we can be with you amidst the disruptions and shifting state of our world.
