Hello, friends. I posted a couple months ago about my new “hobby”: listening to podcasts. In no particular order here are several more which I discovered after that original post. Yes, I know that these aren’t new (with the exception of one title), but they are all awesome in their own way. Hello From The… Continue reading What Has it Got in Its Ears?

I came up with the idea for the story-telling one first and that’s probably the one I’ll develop first.
