    Congratulations on your anniversary! I just recently joined the podcast and enjoy your shows. I wasn’t aware that you have a You Tube sight until I listened to your one year anniversary show. Definitely will subscribe to that as well.

    As for content I only do astrophotography so more episodes on that topic are welcome.
