I miss the timestamps in Overcast…any plans to bring those back? I usually skip the things that don’t apply to me (like pregnancy).

As the OP to the ‘I miss the old podcasts’ thread, I’d like to say I really enjoyed this episode. It was lovely to hear everyone relaxed and joking around. Found myself chuckling as I listened. Nate’s description of Escape from Alcatraz and everyone’s reaction was really funny.
Thank you.
