So I currently have 16 episodes of a podcast that I'm still editing. But this corona shit is in full force and I figure I might as well put out some video-conference podcasts in the mean time, since I won't be able to have people over for a while.
So this first one is just me, but the idea is to always have a guest.
So I guess, this first time around, the guest is... you.
Will...
Um...
Do you want to be my friend?
