Hey-so, here’s our first real episode!! I have stitched it together in the ways one does, and two things have become clear to me:
1) I need more practice at editing podcasts, and 2) I talk too much. Not in the ‘I’m a woman and I feel I talk too much’ way (please, have we met?), but in the ‘I have learning to do about Hosting As A Craft' way.
Still, this was fun and A’Ja and I brought a lot of expertise and humor to this conversation.
