I'm excited to see more of these great FRC podcasts. I did notice that it appears your soundcloud link is broken. May have been accidentally cut off by the URL shortener in the forum software. Can I get a good link?

Can't wait! I love to hear some of the personal stories behind FRC, rather than just the technical ones we often hear
