Weekly Wrap 588: Spring brings two podcasts, one COVID-19 test, and a currawong

My week of Monday 30 August to Sunday 5 September 2021 included a COVID-19 test which once more came back negative. The wait was slightly more stressful than I thought it would be. I’m hoping productivity will return as spring continues, though I still produced two podcasts this week.

Weekly Wrap 584: A podcast with conspiracies, but also some nostalgia for the Beforetimes
