In episode 160 of the show astrologers Kelly Surtees, Austin Coppock, and Spencer Michaud join me to talk about our experiences at the recent United Astrology Conference, which took place in Chicago from roughly May 23-30, 2018.
During the course of the discussion we talk about some of the lectures we gave, lectures we saw, people we met, notable events that happened, and just generally reflect on our impressions of the event as a whole.
This episode is available in both an audio and a video version, and you can find links to both below, right after the show notes.
