Welcome everyone!

We’ve got some (hopefully) exciting news for you all. Darryl and Dave are back for 2020. After a lot of contemplation, they boys have figured out where their “podcast fatigue” came from. Summating a lot here, but the podcast became too much of a time and money sync to continue for what we were getting out it.

But, over the last year, we’ve had so many of you reach out and talk to us about what the show meant to you, how it helped you when you were down, or just that you needed to know if Darryl throws it in the hoop…so we’re willing to give it another go for 2020.

Like most things in life there’s a catch. We’ve started a Patreon. We’re not trying to live off this patreon. All we want is to cover hosting costs and hire an editor so Dave doesn’t have to do it every week. Any money above and beyond that will be dumped back into community events (PAX meet-ups, etc.).

We’ll start 2020 with a normal show, and (bespoke) show notes as you’re accustomed to, but for now please enjoy the first, and last, episode of 2019.
