Introduction of New Host and Questions
The episode begins with the hosts announcing the introduction of a new podcast editor, Jess Schmidt, who will read tech questions submitted by listeners. The hosts emphasize the informal and unscripted nature of the episode and share their excitement about answering a diverse set of questions from the Canadian tech community. They humorously acknowledge that Jess has little knowledge of the tech field, which they believe makes her an ideal facilitator for this episode. This change in format aims to engage listeners by allowing them to send in their inquiries directly to the podcast.
