Just a short update on the project and podcast.
As we're both teachers, the podcast does take time, effort, energy as well as funds to host the podcast services. That's why we have launched a Buy Me A Coffee page to help pay for hosting and long term support of our project.
This is a passion project from the both of us and we're keen to continue telling tales long into the future, so give us a share far and wide!
