Hey, guys, welcome back. I'm your host, Mary, and this is Prologs.

Slade. No, that was so good for a first attempt. Welcome back. My name's Mary and this is Prologs.

And Clara is back on the podcast. The first time you were on the podcast was almost a year ago.

It was a full year ago, like end of August. And you were about to head to Scotland. Guys, we're in Scotland together right now.

sentence, but then just like non-verbally communicate. And this is going to be tough for us.

But welcome back. Mary asked on our Instagram for some questions for today's video.
