Introduction: Love of Lynx

 LISTEN TO EPISODE 
AND SO IT BEGINS…
Well, after countless lives were lost and with much gnashing of teeth (mostly my own), I’ve finally been able to get the website up and running. And that means that this introductory episode can be posted properly. And that means that the podcast can now be submitted to iTunes (or Apple Podcasts). And to Stitcher. And to Google Play Music. And to TuneIn. And that means everyone should be able to download and listen to this episode easily.
