## Resource

A short special announcement from Mercury co-creator David Benedict regarding how COVID-19 will affect the show going forward. In short: We are continuing production with remote recording and will try to keep up with our daily release schedule. With remote recording the norm for the team for the foreseeable future, now is an excellent time for you to write yourself into the show as a character! Or use stories-for-stories and send us a letter! Or record on your own and send it in for a ham radio episode. This is YOUR podcast. We want to be what you need in this time. Send your story of survival to mercury@artc.org
