I would also like to credit Raafat Zaini for the name of this podcast, for inspiring me and teaching me about podcasts and other media. He and other WPI SD Club members paved the way for this work. Their support and guidance are priceless. Below is a poem I wrote about Raafat.
Is from Saudi and innovative
He is very handy and creative
Studied ME, aero and SD
(I didn't know you minored in IE)
He knows many modeling and media apps
And now we plan on making podcasts
He taught me how to Tweet
He is someone you'd want to meet
(He and his family are very sweet)

I cut out 1:00-1:20 of the music track to fit the dialogue better and shifted the music to continue at the end.
