Want to Listen to Two People Play a Game?

A member of the School of Podcasting at https://www.thepoliticsfreepodcast.com/ has a few episodes under her belt.

If you give it a listen, be sure to let Heather know that you heard about the show in the newsletter. As a member of the School of Podcasting, she is WIDE OPEN to any feedback. (At the School of Podcasting our goal is to create a safe environment where we all can focus on making the best episodes for our budgets. This means we are open to learning new and better ways to reach our audience.
