    We really tried tonight

    We really tried tonight

    Hey there, podcast pals! We hit a bit of a rough patch tonight while recording. The internet gods were not in our favor, and we hit a point of no return. But fret not, because we wanted to let you know that we're still thinking of you and we've got a surprise in store!
    Instead of our usual podcast episode, we had an impromptu chat bridging our previous AI topics, with a special sneak peek into next week's topic.
    We know it's not a full episode, but we hope you enjoy this little something we cooked up for you, and don't worry - we'll be back next week with our usual shenanigans!
    Mentioned in this episode:

Cilia F ,

Great show!

Microphone/audio could use some work, hosts sound distant and a little muddled. Other than that, interesting discussions sprinkled with nerdy pop culture references make it fun. Definitely worth a listen!
