Heyyyy it\'s finally here! Was everyone else as excited to get to Joan He\'s new novel as we were? Really though, I have been looking forward to it since we finished Descendant of the Crane back in...I don\'t know, ancient times. Before we had theme music.
\\nPre-pandemic.
\\nWhen the world was young, and hopes and dreams still real.
\\nWho am I kidding, I haven\'t had hopes or dreams for decades.
\\nAnyways, Meridian is a pretty dope future-name. I like dope future-names.
\\nThis episode was recorded the evening of 5.11.21.
\\nOpening theme by Kenneth Garmon.
