And if you're interested, I was also interviewed for a second podcast released today, Synthesized Sunsets. The podcast is about speculative fiction, and that discussion centered more on Pokémon fandom and fanfic, but also touched upon the website a bit.

Just finally got around to setting up the site's Bluesky handle being the site's actual domain, which I should have done a while ago. Hope this doesn't break anything.
