Not much of an intro needed here. This week we're talking to Julie Anderson from Shark Angels about her documentary Shark Water and Shark Water Extinction. There's a lot of crazy stuff we didn't know in this one, and Julie is so very fantastic. We're going to go shark diving now. Bye!

Dani and Katt are vegans. They take a not-too-serious look at being a vegan in the real world, making jokes, puns, segues, cat sounds, and the occasional good point along the way. If you're a vegan or veg-interested, they're here to help and entertain. Updating every Friday.

What about performance? How fast can C# possibly be on the iPhone? What if we told you it is a 1 to 1 and Frank can prove it as he wrote a way of compiling C/C++ code directly to .NET Standard and then measured performance of C to LLVM to IL to LLVM to Native! We discuss what this all means.
