Dumb fact: today's featured thumbnail image (or regular image if you're seeing this on social media) has been made by the AI slop feature that comes with our WordPress subscription. This is how it interpreted the episode title. TRASH! Imagine how nice it would be if we could ditch the AI crap for a cheaper subscription. Perhaps that will be an upcoming episode topic.
