An Announcement about Living With Licensing

Hi everyone, its Regan here, Kelvyn's daughter. I'm sure you will have heard the terrible news by now that my wonderful dad passed away suddenly the other day. I thought I'd record this little update about the Living With Licensing podcast.

If my dad had been in contact with you, in regards to being a guest on the podcast, please can you get in contact with me at regan(at)rykersear.com    Obviously the (at) should be @ - I just want to avoid bots trying to get my email address.

Thank you all, and speak soon.
