We're still on a short break between seasons one and two, but in the meantime: my dog Jack passed away last week, and there are few things he liked more than hanging out in the yard and listening to the bird sounds. So here's some bird sounds, recorded in my backyard, on a nice sunny morning last week, alongside the occasional sounds of a few good steeps of tea in Jack's honor. Feel free to kick back and listen, maybe while enjoying your own cup of tea, and think about the world around you. Hear what surrounds us. Feel the breeze on your face. Think a little about life, how it is fleeting, and how we should cherish it.

See you in two weeks for season two.

They mostly talk space exploration, what the Artemis project's long term goals are, and why people want to put humans on Mars, but there are the usual digressions and conversational culs-de-sac you've come to expect from an episode of this podcast.

Important announcement: this is the last episode of season 1 of Devo-teas! I initially planned this podcast to be biweekly to give me a bit more breathing room and prep time to record conversations, edit, and everything else, but the response was positive enough that I decided to release episodes weekly instead and move to a seasonal model. So the podcast will be taking the next four weeks off for a chance to rest, recuperate, and perhaps build up a backlog of new conversations, and we'll be back with a new episode on 05 May. See you then!
