Some well meant amateurs got together and started creating a new way to get WHY2025 info out; we created the WHYcast!
Here's the story and of course all the beautiful blunders we've made.
We would love to share the story about the only podcast about a hackercamp in the UNIVERSE!
We've made a s**tload of mistakes, learned a lot and would love to share:
1. The origin story. 3 people and a google doc.
2. What we did to make it happen in the technical sense, but also putting a spotlight on all the AMAZING volunteers pulling this camp off
3. AI use to make the podcast more accessible
4. Lessons learned; what did we learn in creating 42 podcasts in 42 weeks?
