Today I'm celebrating all of Germany for whoever bought my book. I'm pretty sure that makes it a "Global Phenomenon". As far as I know, they have the only copy in the country. #ThanksGermany #SmallWorld #Viral

Hey @notquitewrite.com can't you just release the podcast in Canada today? It's cold up here and we're lonely! C'mon eh? A little bonus for Canadian listeners? A little advantage of a few days, hmm? Since your podcast started, there's been less fights in hockey ... could be Ed's soothing voice ☺️
