    Ep. 7: Featuring MaeveDX and Vidya James

    Welcome to First Time Donor - in this episode, we talk all things Zeldathon Ascent and are joined by two team members and HUB hosts, Jamie and Maeve. For those unaware, the hub format was developed as a middle point between a full on, in-person event and a remote event by using several locations as regional hubs of much smaller bubbles of attendees who took turns hosting the event. A lot went into the planning and execution of this format - to learn more, give this episode a listen! First Time Donor is produced and hosted by members of the Kinstone, LLC Staff.
