I met Raequel in person at Podcamp NYC. She’s damn cool. And she interviewed me for her podcast! I just spotted the link and I’m going to listen now. Though of course, if I sound really stupid, then I’ll remove this blog post and pretend it never happened.

Just kidding. Please check out her shows, she has a lot to say.
