Exclusive—heads up!

Big interview with @Something Fishy coming up in the next issue of Hamodia’s Inyan Magazine.. it will be a wild, wide-raging interview guaranteed to satisfy your information needs. Buckle up.

PS — A separate interview in the Yiddish weekly newspaper Der Blatt is also in the works (possibly still this week). Stay tuned.

LOL, thanks for the shoutout.

They weren't able to confirm that it'll be printed in this week's paper, but it "most likely" will. We shall see.
