In this podcast (which is cross-posted on YouTube in video format on Cara's channel) we talk about the project, how we're adjusting some of the tasks to suit where we are in our personal paths (such as deciding on different books to read for the "lessons" portion), and we also have a bunch of great side conversations in here, too!
