Hey! This is Dawn, author of the Full Time Nix podcast.
This is a short message.
This podcast was never about me.
But if you're curious about me, I have something for you.
I was recently interviewed on the YouTube channel EmergentMind.
I have enjoyed chatting with the host, Teo.
I was told by a fellow Nixer that it was really interesting and pleasant to listen to.

If you're listening on the website, consider listening on a podcast app—they offer fancy features. To new listeners I would recommend starting with a recent episode ...which this might be.
