Hello, Mr. Vollrath. I stumbled across your podcast quite by accident and was immediately intrigued. I am curious to know your background. I am a former Adjunct professor of literature and composition at Austin Community College, currently working for the University of Texas' dual enrollment program. I'm studying philosophy in my free time in hopes of pursuing a PhD. Would love to learn more about your background and what led you to create Canonball (great name, btw) and to publish your interpretation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein."
