@mkonnikova Discovered your podcast recently and have been enjoying it. However, whenever the theme song comes on it makes me rip my headphones off in pain. Would it be possible to switch the music? Or record the same tune on a different instrument than "aggressive trumpet"?
@GrumpyOrthoDad@Matthewmatical@shachaf@mattecapu But there is an important difference between the two: the host has ruled out 1/3 of the multiverses.
