Hi all!This podcast may sound familiar - it was on the public feed previously, but I took it down when I shuttered the Patreon as it had a long description at the end explaining the different tiers, etc. Since the Patreon is now gone, it felt prudent to remove that and i'm just now getting around to it.I will hopefully be releasing Talk Back #2 and Look Backs 1-2 (which up until now had been Patreon exclusives) relatively soon. I hope you enjoy and that you're doing well.Feel free to keep up with me on the new Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563180532714 Hosted on Acast.
