EP406 - A Salutary Lesson
Primordial Radio Podcast
Primordial is built on six "pillars" which relate to pretty much everything we do; Music, Environment, Community, Mental Health, Fun, and Technology. We don't tend to discuss the tech pillar as much, as it can be a pretty dry subject, but Moose and Dews definitely get into that today! Dews recently had his phone snatched, which means he's had to learn a LOT of unpleasant lessons very quickly. He and Moose chat this week about those lessons, in the hope that someone else can avoid having this happen to them.
