405: SCPT Episode 026 COMMENTARY

Hey there friends! We had a lot of plans blow up on us last week so we've had to pivot a bunch of plans, I promise we'll be back to normal next week! For now I've got an experimental episode for you. Hunter is going to listen to episode 26 of SCPT and give you his PODCASTER'S commentary. It's a weird thing we've done once before and it's a great nostalgic way to listen to our old ideas and compare them to the current SCPT paradigms. This old episode was originally called "Kingmaking and Support for the Throne" and it features Matt, Hunter, and our buddy Alex. It's a fun old episode to think about in the context of our current talk around winemaking.
