  • Ongoing podcast?

    Lots if useful information very much like the annual roadshow you conduct. Is this a one-time drop of episodes or will it be an ongoing series? If the former, great! If the latter, can a short wrap-up concluding episode be published in case others were also wondering the same thing?
