NYWF Needs More Game Makers!

In following with the example set by the festival. I would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, who are the traditional custodians of the land the festival was held on, and that this podcast was made on.

[Note: we did our best with the editing of the sound quality, but it was a noisy space.]
