INTRO
Opening joke about the 'Tutankhamen effect' — a fictional study from the Large Baden Collider claiming people in mummy sleeping bags experience urinary urgency inversely proportional to temperature and zipper difficulty.
WELCOME
Listener mail from Matt Weiss (invasive species 'alien invasion' service project idea), Bruce's Facebook comment on the iterative process episode, Laura Murkut requesting permission to use the campfire infographic, and thanks to new backers Timothy Haberman, James Casper, and Patreon patron Walter Scott Sweitzer. Clarke also mentions Tuesday morning live chat sessions at ScoutMasterCG.com.
