In this inaugural episode of the Inclined Kinetics Podcast, I give a little background on myself, talk about the aims and goals of this podcast, and put out the call for future guests to the show.  

I'm new to podcasting, so there will be some initial roughness as I learn the ropes.  That said, I'm open to all suggestions and feedback, and look forward to making this a great outlet for all things PWD.
