2 hr 20 min - Lord of the Rings as life advice with Pastor Tim Fox
A conversation with my wonderful former pastor, Tim Fox. He's leaving me, so I wanted to scrape together some life advice from him before he went. But really he just wants to talk about Lord of the Rings 24/7.

Really glad to have Matt Odell as a return guest. Instead of an interview we used this as an opportunity to talk about our wonderful dystopia full of 30 hour battery life, folded proteins, and zero privacy. Enjoy!

2 hr - Local-first and freeform software with James Long
In classic podcasting style, I managed to frontload this episode with highly technical questions up front and then we slowly morphed the conversation into a more conceptual what-is-the-future-of-computers sort of thing.
James is a really wonderful guy from what I've learned over the decade or so I've been following him on Twitter and you should def check out Actual if you're in the market for budgeting software.

1 hr 28 min - Is tech actually good tho
This is a tough one because I'm fairly undecided. Are we sliding toward an apocalypse? Is too much getting worse to expect anything to get better? Is YouTube actually kind of a great thing? I've been stuck on this long enough that I figured I should just put it out there and let you decide. A lot of different thoughts here but I swear it's all connected.
Thanks to ZappyCode for buying a fake ad this week!

50 min - A computer from scratch with Jonathan Pallant
So I screwed up and didn't select my nice podcasting microphone for this episode and am instead speaking to you through that joke of a pinhole mic on my MacBook Pro.
The good news is that we're not here to listen to me, we're here to hear from the fascinating Jonathan Pallant: Town Mayor, retro computing enthusiast, and embedded systems engineer.
