Show Notes
Two more chunky questions for this week's episode:
- “How do I choose the right materials and techniques when I love them all?”
- “How do I keep up with new tech and trends without hopping on every train and going bananas?”
It's a longer one this week! A podcast title that went in the bin was: Mouldy bingo dabbers: A love story. A moment of silence for that title. It woulda been great, but not very useful or searchable 😆
Alas.
