#introduction Hi, I'm Thomas. I write and host The Episodic Table Of Elements, a podcast that looks at the fascinating stories behind every element on the periodic table, at http://episodictable.com
I also love tabletop games, especially D&D and MtG. I'm looking forward to learning what Mastodon is all about!
