Feedback/Questions Ian - Thoughts (https://github.com/BSDNow/bsdnow.tv/blob/master/episodes/589/feedback/ian%20-%20toughts.md) Producer Note Once we reach Episode 600, I will be backfilling out fireside website with the older episodes (before 283), depending on how your podcast feed service works, you may get a bunch of new notifications of episodes. Sadly there's nothing I can do about that, but I wanted everyone to be aware that. Also once we hit 600, we will be announcing some new Patreon Perks and new ways you can engage and get involved with the show. More to come in the upcoming weeks as we finalize those plans amongst the team.
