It's an all new season.. WP Plugins A to Z, 11 years and counting.. heading into our 12th year of doing this show. Oct 18 is the anniversary of the show.
This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Amber's Rant:
This is #40 of 52 episodes for 2021! We are just about at the end of the year – doesn't really feel like yet another year has just about passed us by – thought it has been a very busy past year for us.
I hope everyone is ready for Halloween! In my opinion, it is the best holiday of the entire year. Way better than anything else – free candy, and literally the most trusting night of the year! What other night do people willingly allow complete strangers to knock on their doors, and accept things from complete strangers? It's essentially offering up and accepting gifts with all the people in your area for hours at a time. Plus, there is the added bonus of getting to dress up.
Remember to take some time for yourself, even on Halloween! Block a little time out of your day to just chill without any sort of media. It will help a lot with the whirl wind of holiday craziness that is about to come round.
Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
