Back with an episode after two weeks of self-isolation. No links this week, but I talk through my experience in self-isolation and some of the things kind of keyboard related that crossed my mind these two weeks.

Pretty low effort episode this week, so low that I'm not even going to share it on Reddit (it'll be a good way to see how the listen numbers go to see if makes a difference!). I literally just chill out for a few minutes in a few different discord voice channels and see what happens. If you want a link to some I mention that I mention I can share a link to, let me know :) *** Our Instagram is at https://www.instagram.com/theboardpodcast You can also catch us on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/theboardpodcast) and if you'd like to shout us some coffee, you can do so now at https://buymeacoff.ee/p3ON0kuAz So, until next time, Happy Clacking :)
