  • Like the podcast, not the recent brown artwork

    I really like the podcast and have been listening to it for years; I've gained a lot of insight from the various guests.

    This brown artwork, though...

    is not very good.

    I didn't realize there were new episodes until I noticed that my playlist lacked blue in its color scheme.

    It's very ugly (sorry, but it is) and doesn’t "feel" like Home Assistant.
