CONTEXT: A reoccurring error is that we forget to start the camera before the recording. This issue could probably be mitigated with a simple check for, "LIGHTS, AUDIO, ACTION!" Although we also attest this being caused by our excitement to start to get started and talking. We should probably consider a way to work around and properly harness that excitement as to not impact the flow of the podcast whilst still being able to come forth with the same genuine enthusiasm. A few episodes ago we made a note to write up a podcast checklist to help us keep track of the podcasting process, and we still haven't gotten around to do that.
Always a pleasure to catch up with a friend from the old days. Zaki Yawary and I sit down to ride a nostalgia wave as we talk about our high school days growing up and hanging out. We also touch base on the recent news of President Biden withdrawing U.S. forces from Afghanistan, as Zaki imparts his opinions from his personal Hazara perspective and understandings.
