    Episode 0 - Welcome to bit:cast

    Welcome to the bit:cast podcast - a brand new unofficial podcast for micro:bit makers.  Brought to you by the micro:mag team. Presented by Joshua Lowe & Kerry Kidd. In this new podcast we aim to cover the latest micro:bit news, projects as well as interviewing members of the micro:bit tech community. When putting together the magazine, there are so many things that we would like to include. However, we simply just do not have the space in the magazine to fit it all in. That is where the bit:cast podcast comes in. We want to create a podcast that is fun to listen to and enjoyable for all members of the micro:bit community. The podcast will be split up into four different sections: Our fortnight in micro:bit The News Deep Dive Topic Feedback/Announcements  We’re really looking forward to hearing your feedback about our new adventure and we look forward to learning more about the world of podcasting. If you have any questions or feedback you’d like us to respond to via email or in Episode One in our feedback section. Please get in touch via bitcast@micromag.cc or by sending us a Direct Message on Twitter.
