The Final Word community page is live: A mini-episode to let people know about our Discord server, which is basically a website where listeners to the show can hang out. It's a bit like the old-school chat boards with different pages for different subjects, but way more high-tech with things like video embedding and voice-chat channels to supplement your keyboard. Being a closed page where we know people's identities, it's a bit more safe and chilled out than public-facing social media. If you want somewhere to chat to people during cricket matches, for instance, without the Wild West elements, listen in for tips from Discord expert Anna Forsyth on what it's about and how to access it. That, Nerd Pledge, and other bonuses are at: patreon.com/thefinalword Support the show: https://patreon.com/thefinalword See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. by The Final Word Cricket Podcast
