Episode 11: The Porch Release Movement — Solo Episode Episode Ten traced the four days that led to a truce. Episode Eleven goes back to one specific morning inside those four days — a quiet Sunday, before anyone else was awake — when a decision that had settled quietly the day before turned into actual words on a page.

The episode closes by turning outward, inviting listeners to ask the same questions of their own Loyal Soldier. I
