Well, it's that time of year---the holidays. Because of that and also because I actually only just got discharged from the hospital after a week-long stay thanks to a fairly involved surgery, I think this makes for a great time to take a short break. I'm sure you'd been eagerly counting on spending your holiday break listening to Tempest, but fear not: there are two and a half seasons of back episodes you can listen or re-listen to! And, anyway, waiting makes the heart grow fonder. Or something like that. Either way, Tempest will be back sometime in January, 2025 ideally right around when your holiday hangover hits hardest and you need a boost. In the meantime, remember: if you have any stories you think would be a good fit for Tempest then send me an email at obuchowski.david at gmail. HAPPY HOLS!
