Episode 79: Pandemic Reflections

In which I reflect on the pandemic that will affect us all, talk about some of the technical spinning and course development I’d like to do, go over angora for Level 5, examine the projects I have on the go in anticipation of quarantine, and make a plan for better progress on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!
