So, um, whenever, whenever you started that, uh, what was that like for, for you guys when you ran that? So how did you kind of, dive into that.

But she was living in Queensland, so sort of around near Brisbane, and I was in Perth and we hopped on the phone together to say we've lost our jobs.
And I said, Kim, let's have this conversation again tomorrow, but let's record it and turn it into a podcast because we're talking about we've lost our jobs like millions of people around the world and, you know, certainly hundreds of thousands around Australia.
Let's... let's yeah turn this into something that might be helpful for people yeah so i just you know did the the good old google you know how do you start a podcast and i think watched a couple of youtube videos and signed up for i can't remember what hosting site site we used but um found a video editor on fiverr sorry a audio editor on fiverr And, yeah, we just launched.
And every week we set aside an hour just to chat and riff on what was happening in our lives, what we'd learned so far from being unemployed during COVID but also from our history.
And I guess it's left me less scared of that as a medium, but I have to say probably with the load of caring for my kids, I just haven't got around to doing audio or video content for my sub stack yet.
