So this is a tech-adjacent, digital asset, pop-culture, tangent-positive monthly podcast - with some domains stuff thrown into the mix for good measure. In this episode, JT is joined by Drew and special guest Andrew Allemann, the founder, editor, and publisher of DomainNameWire.com, the leading news source in the domain name industry, and host of the DNW Podcast.
