Welcome to the very first episode of the The Art of Sysadmin podcast! This podcast is one where I approach various system administration topics from a more human perspective rather than a purely technical perspective.

This is for now a solo podcast, that is: it is just me talking into a mic. This first episode is me talking about myself and how I got into the hobby/field and my intentions for this podcast.

Thank you for listening, and if you enjoyed it please share the podcast with a friend!
