Hi 👋



It's been a while, I know. A lot has happened since the first couple of episodes. In the time since I have worked to reorg the show's and define content and production processes. One of the decisions is to publish the show in Seasons and have episodes in them.



The first season will feature 6 episodes and they'll be dropping every Fortnightly Tuesday. Expect the first episode by 12 noon (WAT), Tuesday 26th October 2021.



You can reach out to me for a chitchat @noobilas on Twitter or mail me; [email protected]
