DEVELOPMENTS!
We plan to produce the AFS in audio format as well from now on, as well the YouTube and local TV (Salto) versions. Eventually we’ll also share it on local radio too. We are also seeing how it feels in a monthly format. Let us know what you think, and if you want to contribute, please also get in touch.
