To research and demonstrate this concept, we put out a survey asking people to tell us about their IC placement, and we spend most of the episode going through these examples from listeners. Watch the episode here: youtu.be/8x8mdeQ9Z8g

This month my websites crashed catastrophically, and it is taking longer than I expected to try to recover and rebuild everything. The podcast website itself is going to be offline still for at least another week or two, which means that the feed for the audio version of the podcast which sends it to places like Spotify and iTunes won't work, but I am going to continue to release episodes through my YouTube channel and Patreon page. The forecast for October was just released a couple days ago on YouTube, so you can watch it there for more info on what happened, or you can access the audio version through my page on Patreon. The podcast website is now redirecting to my Patreon page, and I'll be posting most future updates about the podcast there for a while, because it's too much to keep up with all the different social media sites with everything going on. Thanks everyone for your support this month, I appreciate it! The recovery is still slow going and may take a while, but I'm hoping to build back better in the long run.
