This is the first I’ve heard of the Cerebro podcast. I love the idea of a deep dive into one character at a time! I just subscribed and I’ll be diving into the back catalogue

With this episode, I'm caught up with the podcast. I started listening in March of 2020 when the COVID pandemic was starting. I was working from home, feeling very isolated and also feeling guilty because my job allowed it and my husband's retail job had him going to work every day. Podcasts helped me out through my 10 weeks working from home, and this one was the star. I listened to them in order, not skipping any and including all the Hawk Talks.
