Welcome to the first podcast from Seriously, Dan. Seriously, Dan is Dan Carroll’s reassurance and advice podcast for geeks. We cover everything from relations and gender identity concerns to how to get ready for a job interview. Any topic is open from dealing with self-doubt to the best ways to get into cosplaying. Along with his co-host Mary Lou Who, Dan introduces Seriously,Dan in this podcast. Also up for discussion is the amazing potential we have to be more and do more, and how that doesn’t me we can do anything we want in life.
