  • Episode 108: “Our Apologies” (ft. Zane & Zoe)
    May 14 2024

    This weeks episode of The Smoke Break, is a short one. About 5 minutes.

    But we thought it was important to get this information out there and address an episode we made a couple months back.

    We’ve been at the studio every week since, recording and probably overthinking it while trying to say things in a perfect way. But often times, “perfection” can get in the way of “doing the best we can in the moment.”

    And as a result, it’s understandably appeared like we are unwilling to address what happened which is genuinely not the case.

    Our only desire is to not cause further harm while also addressing the harm that was already caused.

    Check out the episode, and as always we are more than willing to receive feedback and have open and respectful conversations with our community and listeners.
