Year in Dorkview
It's been one heck of a year. Lexi Hunt and Ben Rankel reminisce about the last 30 episodes of Dork Matters with editor/producer Jess Schmidt in an extra-special, extra-long, anniversary episode. We get into the good, bad, favourite and worst moments of making, producing and editing this podcast for over a year now. We also dork out about Wordle, graphic design, DeviantArt, Diet Coke, burping, Asian grocery stores, white dudes (again), Star Trek (as always), and a whole bunch more.
FURTHER DORKSCUSSION:
Back in 2021, under the milieux of pandemic interaction, real-life friends, Lexi & Ben, decided to start a podcast. A bold and original decision made all the bolder and more original-er by refusing to conform with modern podcast dictates that the show be niche. Today, in 2022, that podcast now has 30 episodes, spanning dozens of topics with thousands of listeners across at least 10 countries, possibly more.
