Episode 38/1: The Penadon Podcast

Hello!


Welcome to the 38th episode of the Maple Namu Podcast... But the first of the Penadon Podcast! I've been thinking and it's time to be more serious about this. The podcast is going to split into two! There will be this one - which will be the same as it has been so far - and another one that's more focused on language learning!
