***Warning: this episode contains some explicit language.***

Jen and Abi delivered the keynote address at Colorado TAB's annual conference held at the Denver Art Museum on January 13, 2023. The conference theme was [re]TAB, using the prefix "re" to encompass all things (reconnection, rebirth, renewal, reinvigoration, etc.) that the TAB community is currently facing. Within this theme, Jen and Abi's keynote address focused on the past, present, and future of TAB.

Afterward, they held a roundtable to answer questions and facilitate further discussion related to their keynote. This is the impromptu recording from that roundtable Q & A. 

This is their first (and most likely last) live episode. Enjoy, and apologies for the crummy audio and lack of a transcription!
