It's time for episode 509 of the Clockwise podcast from Relay FM recorded Wednesday, June 28th,

2023.

Clockwise, four people, where we could talk for hours and hours.

But we won't.

My name is Dan Morin, and I am joined, as always, across the internet by my good friend, my pal, my co-host, my

tech writer and respectable podcaster. It is Anjay Tomich. Welcome back.
