It was a hot day when the DCC-Kotesol chapter held their 2023 Summer Picnic, but everyone there was cool.

In this epsidoe I chat with Michael Peacock about the opportunities and chllanges that face Kotesol chapters as they emerge form the Covid pandemic.

It was a fun day and this is a fun episode. It's a little self-indulgent but I figure a lot of people held the mic, so a lot of people deserve to be heard. Find a comfortable spot to settle into and enjoy the next 30 minutes of Yoko chatter.
