  • Announcement: The Conduit

    Hi listeners.


    After more than 30 episodes of PhilosophyAu, it is time to begin a new part of our podcasting journey. This short recording details that next step. From here on out, the show will be known as The Conduit.

    We feel this is a better reflection of the role we play and how we can provide value.

    Thanks for following along. We greatly appreciate it.

    Josh and Lyndon.
