In a couple of weeks would be ten years since I moved from Russia to Germany. Because of my work I urgently needed to improve my English and someone suggested to me listening to podcasts. Because I was proud owner of macbook air 2013, I quickly found Accidental Tech Podcast and it was so entertaining, that I kept listening to them even I didn’t understand (more than) a half of it. Then I found Analogu(e), then other relay shows and since 2015 they helped me not just learning language and keep up with apple news, but also with my mental health, when I migrated from my homeland country to place where I did not had any friends nor time to find ones.
Being tonight on live show felt so surreal to see people, that previously were just voices in my head. And see the community of diverse, helping and engaged people is amazing. Thanks, Mike and Stephen for making this amazing thing and thank everyone involved!
