0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond. |
0:07.0 | And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast. You could make an appointment to speak with me. |
0:12.0 | Just head over to commando.com and on the top right, there's a button that says email Kim, fill that out, and that's it. |

1:29.9 | And if you're a new listener to the Kim Commander show, welcome. |
1:31.3 | We're so glad that you're here. |
1:33.7 | And if you're already a listener, glad to have you back. |
