Hello there,

In November, we had an exciting start with two video episodes released on Patreon, along with an audio episode for the podcast. We are currently reaching out to Patreon to understand why only audio episodes are appearing on Spotify.

I had the pleasure of attending the 5th Afros and Audio Podcast Festival in Baltimore. As some of you may remember, I was also a speaker at the festival. I brought along two fellow participants, including another speaker, to share their experiences at this premier podcasting event for black creatives. We discussed the importance and purpose of such a festival, and why you should consider attending next year. The great news is that the festival is open to everyone, regardless of race, so come and expand your knowledge. Additionally, if you're interested, you can sponsor a black indie creative to attend the next Afros & Audio Podcast Festival on October 19 & 20, 2024.

In addition to the festival, I had a busy October attending Oktoberfest at Governor's Island and New York Comic Con 2023, which is always a must for me and my family. I shared my thoughts on my first-time experience at Oktoberfest and my latest NYCC experience.

You can find the links to each recording below. Enjoy and have a fantastic weekend! We also have some questions for you.
