Schedule Update

Just a quick update on the podcast schedule. It looks like I won’t be able to get an episode out until the end of June. With school finishing up and much needed time at the easel, I have not had the time to devout to the podcast. My plan is to get back on a regular schedule over the summer. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
