Welcome to the listening Time podcast.
Hey everybody, this is Connor and you're listening to episode 109 of the listening Time podcast.
At the time that you'll be listening to this, or if you listen to this episode around the time when it comes out, it will be summer and I hope that you're all having a good start to your summer.
I'm excited for warm weather because at the time of recording this, it's the beginning of June and still the sky is gray and we have a lot of wind here and it's been an uncharacteristically bad year in terms of weather where I live.
So I'm excited for summer to finally come so that hopefully we can have some warm days and I can spend a lot of time outdoors.
And so hopefully by the time you listen to this episode, it will be nice and warm and sunny here.
And speaking of summer, in today's episode we're going to talk about the 4 July because this episode will be released right around the time of 4 July, I think one day before it.
So this will be a good topic to talk about.
A lot of people ask me about the 4 July and what people do, what it really represents for Americans, so we'll talk about all of that.
And don't forget that I have my ebook available now, the collection of three short mystery stories that I wrote and it's translated into Spanish and Portuguese to help you understand the english version.
So if you're interested in that and you're a spanish or a portuguese speaker, then make sure to click on one of the links in the description below this episode, depending on which version you want.
