Ian and I took nine months off from podcasting, but rest quite assured: it wasn't in order for him to gestate and pass our baby.
In this bonus episode, I'll explain the actual reason for our absence and our plan for a new era of Tech's Message, which begins on this very day -- look out for episode 323 in your feed shortly!
We're really grateful to everyone who's kept our feed in their podcatchers and stuck with their Patreon membership until we were ready to return. We've got some cool plans for the show and we'll welcome your feedback.
Onwards!
