Please note the audio is terrible. I did what I could. See if you can fast forward through me and just listen to Kameron!

Kameron Hurley is back playing Proxy Matt and we talk social media again! *l*n M*sk got himself a new toy, so we start discussing what else we can do as authors who need to use social media. (I’m on Mastodon now!)
