    Trailer for my new control-related podcast! Epsiodes will be released on the 1st of each month.

    You can check out inControl here: https://www.incontrolpodcast.com/

    inControl episodes tend to be realeased during the middle of the month, so you could subscribe to both!


    (Please bear with me regarding the strange background noises and general awkwardness - I'm still learning how podcast making works!)
