  • NASCompares Podcast 24 - Ask Me Anything, 100K Sub Special
    Nov 10 2023

    *Important* - It’s worth noting that, as local recording was not possible, we have had to rely on the zoom record. This results in a noticeable drop in the resolution (as it records the compressed feeds of all people involved in the call, but ‘full screen’s them as they talk).
