Show Notes:
We’ve started doing the show a little differently, as we’ve been getting quite a bit of feedback saying the show should be done more regularly.
So from now on, we will be breaking the usual three topics into three weekly episodes - to be released on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (or as close to those days as we can!) They’ll be around 10 minutes long each. But you know how we love to talk, so this today’s episode is about 12 minutes long.
Today’s topic is…. (drum roll)
