Podcast Information
While the name may be misleading, there is a discussion of the number 269, an explanation of marmots, and a string of good and bad jokes throughout this podcast. The best part? We've normalized our sound output for the first time, and the wide volume differences between speakers has been smoothed out. Beware this means this may be louder than previous podcasts. Enjoy!
The Friday podcast is an off-topic discussion. These are unscripted discussions with a general subject, and do not have a transcript or pre-recorded outline available.
When available, Donors will see both the outlines and podcasts in advance of their post date.
Can you adjust the volume down on your end? I just use a standard preset, might be a little higher than normal since we don't have the spikes we normally do so the volume preset pushes everything a bit higher.
It didn't make sense to me that the 269th day would be 25th on a non-leap year and then on a leap year would be a day *later*...but date math is hard...anyway here's what wikipedia had to say:

Haven't listen to your latest podcast yet, but have notice an off topic fascination with marmots. I live at the base of Mt. Washington on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where we have a strugling colony of marmots. The Vancouver Island Marmot is actually Canada's most endangered species.
Mt. Washington also hosts a top notch skiing, every year the ski facility closes down regardless of skiing conditions due to Marmot breeding season. I believe at last report there were only 30 some animals in the wild. I know that 4 or 6 animals where released from the breeding facility last year or the year before. Unfortunately a cougar managed to get them, but the breeding program has become somewhat successful and the researchers are hopeful to release some more.
The local elementary school where my kids attend provide some educational awareness of these marmots and thetyalso get the children involved in some fund raising.

Honestly, I was looking at this page not too long ago. We're referring to them in a more joking way because I really do find them funny creatures, but why not put a little goodwill into it? Will link this from the main post.
