I’m so podcast old I can remember having to explain what they were. While I have future posts about podcast making, always always the gate to the craft is by listening and learning from other podcasters. My listening is nearly always while in the vehicle for doing errands in town (I cant remember te last […]

Tomorrow at 8pm ET I join my long time colleague and good friend Darren Kuropatwa for an OSSEMOOC webinar session on Storytelling, by request of Donna Fry.
