Tech Over Tea
Brodie Robertson
Generally Tech Over Tea is going to be a show about technology but sometimes we might diverge from that, ok I won't lie, it might be kind of often that we diverge but that's what makes it fun. This podcast was created to give me an opportunity to talk to really interesting people and share those conversations with the world, I hope that you guys end up having as much fun listening to the show as I do creating it.
