Episode 62: Ann Magnuson & Hal Lublin

This episode was aired during the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, recordings taking place after the establishment of social distancing were recorded remotely and without a live audience. In the introduction of this episode, J. Keith notes that while live recordings of the podcast have been canceled since March 12, 2020, this episode was recorded in late February before meeting in large groups was deemed unsafe, which is why this episode still features a live audience.
