Happy New Year, patrons! 2020 was quite the year for everyone. Navigating through video production and graduate school during a global pandemic was challenging, but I made it work. Let's all hope 2021 is easier on everyone!

I started working on this video back in August. Then grad school hit me like a ton of bricks! I'm pretty happy with how this episode turned out. I love incorporating interviews into these videos.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy. We will have a vote next week on a new topic! Stay tuned.

I thought it might be fun to switch up the weekly blogs a little bit. With me being in grad school, video progress can be very slow, which makes a weekly blog well...not very exciting.
So I thought maybe we could do some Q&A. I'd fill you all in on what I've been up...

My last video before grad school starts. This was much easier to make than Mario Paint. I'm hoping that during school, I can regularly put out stuff like this.
Anyways, enjoy! Should go live on YouTube around Tuesday. Let me know if you see any issues.
