Loved the episode! Keep it up guys, you make hump day awesome. And can I just give my two cents???
1¢: I love Jessica’s laugh- it makes me happy.

1¢: Olga’s routine to Rite of Spring is one of my favorites- but I question her judgement to make her final pose a crotch shot directed right at the judges…
I just wanna comment on the difference of the volume between Jessica and the rest of the speaker, perhaps this is something that can be fixed for future podcasts. Jessica, your volume is almost 10db louder than the rest of the speakers. So when I listened to the podcast while driving from/to work, I have to constantly adjust the volume when it’s switching between Jess and the rest of the team. Either you lower your volume down, or Uncle Tim and Lauren can increase their gain.
Just something to think about for the production value of the podcast. But otherwise, AWESOME episode and love the great works!
