Phones Show Chat 866 - Show Notes - Introductions and Teaser!

Introduction and Teaser for what’s to come!

New PSC Website - phonesshowchat.uk

The first show proper will be in the first week of September.
We’ll start fortnightly rather than weekly and see how we go.
We’ll aim to get a guest on every other show to begin with, so once a month and see how we go.
We talked about the general idea and content which we see making up the show.
Link to Joe and Sam Ventimiglia’s Nomad Tech Project YouTube Channel
Joe’s Screen on Time YouTube Channel

We talked about what to do about PSC Photos and PSC Classifieds.
