Better late than never, here we are with the first episode of season 5! After a crazy year of 3 seasons and 30 episodes, we decided we needed a little time to rest, think things through and figure out how we were going to carry this podcast forward into 2022. That started by actually taking a month off from even thinking about it and wow did we need that! We've learned a lot about running a podcast, and about working with someone who works differently to ourselves. And it's these lessons we're t...
