(Fun Fact: our name is actually pronounced Tracking the Cross, but we made it subjective and confusing on purpose! ' Tracking the X' came from a list of titles Connor and Harlen debated on for weeks. 'X' stands for a variable like in algebra, meaning it could be anything, but also the railroad crossing, "x-ing" since Waycross is the railroad hub of Georgia!) #Trackingthex #trackingthexpodcast
