Podcasting Times Are Hard
All rather grey and cool to start the day. Then it rained and by Spoons time it had cheered up. Was listening to the Mac OS Ken Podcast and it is shocking how empty his advertising schedule was going up to the new year. Signed up to his Patreon. Had an X like. The Hereford Beer House. Very Fine Ales and Great Beer talk. The sun shone.
