It's early 2023 at the time of this premiere! So if you're watching this in the distant future, hello from the past. Hope things are going well.
In this episode, we revisit the Google machine for another Search AutoFill show, this time about Diamonds. So when you go to Google and start typing, "Do Diamonds...", what AutoFill options does Google start to populate? Those are allegedly the questions you care about most, so we wrote 10 of them down and asked Carter for the answers.
It's another fun episode with lots of great diamond tips and tricks, so let's get this new year started bright and blingy with the pre-proposal show for dating couples designed to make engagement ring shopping easy, understandable, and fun.
This is the CarterCast, filmed on location at JoshuaOneNine in Downtown Bloomington, IL.

The project will be designed locally by Kyle Glandon and Paul Scharnett at Hewn Architectural Studio (the new entity formed at the start of 2024 by the merger of Workbench and SAA), and be built locally by Catalyst Construction, led by the team of Andy Kaufmann, Britt Steffen, and Josiah Koch.
