May 2020 TL;DR

Recap

The world is gradually opening up like a rose after a long dark night. We've enjoyed getting around a little bit more in May (within our current city), although for much of the month we've been nose-to-the-grindstone working on our new podcast.

This is something that our team is very proud of, and the season launch on 26 May was a momentous milestone. We mentioned the podcast in last month's TL;DR, but if you haven't already, please check out a few episodes and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform (such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, etc).

To celebrate the launch, we are giving away a DJI Mavic Air 2 drone plus a bunch of cool prizes. If you haven't joined in yet, it's not too late!

What's Hot

The most popular page in May was, unsurprisingly, our podcast page.
