Ep312 The Podcast is Back
2026/04/13
After 12 months, not the planned 3 to 6, the podcast is back! Im slowly working through how to set everything up for video. Hopefully this adds a new way for everyone listening to enjoy the conversations. Episodes will likely be monthly to start with while I get set up; potentially back to fortnightly in the future.
