Sans episode 36

We released Sans 36 to the RSS feed in recent days, and we need to get the show notes out.

unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to work on 37 which should cover the newsletter from Friday, but haven’t gotten there yet.

Here are the notes.

Hello gang, welcome to program 36 of the Sans series here at the Jared Rimer Network. I’m Jared Rimer. Here’s the thing. We’re not taking anything away from any other podcast, we just want to put out the news and things from this great educational institution and put our thoughts in to it. With that said, we’ll see what happens, as the News Bites series continues.

Sans 35 covered ouch! for January Fake Tech Support: The Only Thing They’re Fixing Is Your Bank Account, so 36 will be the first News Bites of the year.
