A NOTE ON SOURCES: Before I Google for reputable websites and database information, check out my own bookshelves, visit the Internet Archive for more books, or ask Grok (AI) for some obscure facts about the topic, I start with some foundational texts that are always within arm's reach on my desk. It is these that always drive and become the spine of the episode's script. Once the script is completed in its most basic form, I then turn to internet resources to add more detail when/if needed.
