Our K7 voicemail line was shut down due to inactivity, so we’ve had to get a new one. Please send your voicemails to 206-203-0994 from now on. If you’ve sent me a voicemail in the last two months and you haven’t heard it played on the podcast, please re-send it, because it probably went to whoever’s using that voicemail line now.

I have changed all of the show notes on page 1 of the blog to show the correct voicemail number. I’m not going to go back and change the audio, though, as that would be a tremendous amount of work for relatively little benefit. Hopefully those who care enough about the show to call in will also visit the blog and see this message.
