For the first podcast of 2021, I sat down to discuss how crazy the first half of January was but how it turned around quickly.

Talked about some tech, YouTube and plans and ideas.

Lots on the go and despite 2021 looking ugh, there are some nice bright spots.

Hey everyone, discovered a mic problem after the show was recorded.

It appears to be software related so I'll chase that before the next episode.
