The Grey NATO – 336 – Oops! All Mods!

This episode is a couple of weeks late, but no less fun! The TGN Boys are thrilled to have the TGN Slack team, Jake Thebault-Spieker and Chris Sohl (aka, JakeTS and Sohl, on the Slack), join them for a blast of an episode about their background in watches and a whole lot about what it’s like to help keep the Slack community running smoothly.

This episode was originally recorded at the end of June, but was delayed due to the arrival of James (and Sarah’s) baby boy. Thank you for all the well wishes and kind messages. Everyone is happy and healthy – on with the show!
