New Format!

Hello!

We at The ATAACast have made a decision that we hope you all will enjoy. After much discussion with our viewers and close friends we have decided to release the show in a new format. From now on we will be releasing multiple shorter episodes over the course of the week, rather than releasing one hour and a half episode. With each episode focusing on a particular topic or set of topics. We are going to write more about each project that we cover and show more of the images we reference in the podcast. In addition, we may start exploring themed days episode relationships.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! We are constantly working to make this the best podcast we can.

Have a great week!
Kyle Santilli

P.S. New Logo is one the way. Stay tuned!
