Format. Process. Foundations. Today is a special episode outside of the typical format. Matthew Price and I take a step back and look at the form and function of the podcast. We dig into the why behind it and what we hope to achieve. We explain the format and how it will likely evolve over time.  I truly hope you enjoy this episode and get a better understanding about our intentions.
