E:38 Introducing Pat Regan, DIY Home Automation, and Mr. Laser
After a number of solo episodes with excellent guests, but no secondary source of commentary, please welcome Pat Regan as the new co-host of the show. Pat’s a prolific maker, quadcopter aficionado, electric unicycle rider, and (for now) early retiree. He promises to add a bit of “Pennsylvania Texan” flair to the show!
