April 26, 2023 BONUS EPISODE! - We had issues...

This is purely a bonus episode so we can learn how to use our new piece of kit. Unfortunately the Rodecaster Pro that we use to record our podcasts decided to pack up so we had to buy a new piece of recording equipment to carry on with the podcasts. We went for the Zoom PodTrak P8. This is us just getting our heads around how to use it.
Normal episodes will resume as usual every other Monday!
