Hey, @claudiom, looking forward to it surfacing in my feed (I just downloaded a fresh 4GB to my podcast player yesterday, so it may be a couple weeks, but 🤷)

Were short of shows for next week, if you wanted to send a "how I got into Tech" show in...

@gumnos Hey, if people are willing to tolerate my rambling and annoying voice, I think you'll do way better. :flan_wink: @ken_fallon @hpr

@claudiom

We have had several shows from people who could not, or did not want to speak.

Some have converted the script to audio using text to speech like espeak. However others chose to have someone from our pool of narrators read the script on their behalf.

We will not let something like #A11y get in the way of sending in a show.
