Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, as the director of operations, Ryan Costello, shares his thoughts on the state of the network.
Two weeks ago, I announced that the Know Direction Network would not be hosting recordings of the PaioCon Online 2023 seminars. I’d requested permission to share them, did not hear back, and chose to take that silence as a no instead of being a pest.
Ends up, this time, pestering would have been the better choice. I’ve now received permission to share podcast versions of the online seminars. We’re a few weeks behind on editing the audio, so the exact release date isn’t known yet. When they are ready, we’ll released them in batches to the Know Direction Network Patreon and one a day to the podcast feed. Nothing will be exclusive to the Patreon, mind you. We only do this because too many uploads to our feed on the same day hurts our search engine optimization.
Speaking of Know Direction Network content, here’s what we released last week.
