We've hit 150 episodes and we have big news to share!

Join us on our walk down memory lane of the last 3 years of podcasting, and learn what the big news is. 

The first two minutes of the podcast are recorded with a backup source, then the audio quality gets better. Sorry for the mix-up.

As we shared at the end of the episode, we'll be taking a break until early December, thanks for your patience, and we can't wait to talk to you then.

Cheers!
