Cross Cutting Concerns Podcast

Arthur Doler talks about retrospectives and how to make them better. Note that this was recording at the Indy.Code() conference in a hallway, so the audio may be a bit noisier than usual. Also, SPECIAL THANKS to the great David Giard (who has been on the show before: Episode 6 and Episode 15, and he's also the host of the excellent Techology and Friends show, of which my podcast is a pale imitation) who gave me some new podcasting equipment that I used in this episode. I am extremely grateful, but I'm still trying to figure out how best to use this equipment (which may be obvious in this episode).
