Thank you very much for watching this video, and I'll see you in the next video.

Okay friends, welcome to the show, Greg Kogel here, and this is an off-scheduled day,

0:35.0

which means that I can't get calls because nobody knows on broadcasting,

0:40.0

which is fine because I have calls here that you have offered with our open mic feature.

0:48.0

And many of you know that means you can call in anytime you want and leave a question

0:54.0

that I can then take as if you were calling me.

0:58.0

You hear your voice, I hear the question, and the difference is of course I can't answer the question

1:04.0

but I can't interact with you, which is always a pleasure for me to do when I like that the best.

which isn't always the case, but frequently I have something more to say actually.

2:05.0

2:11.0

So podcast and live podcasts in there's the feature details.
