This is NOT an episode to have a first-listen with your kids in the car. To that end, I am well aware that there will be parts of this episode that will anger you.

But I’d be an idiot if I didn’t know you would have responses while you listen.

Then, when you’re done, you have the choice to send me the complete file at

Helping Puerto Rico As many of you know, Puerto Rico has been devastated by the latest slew of hurricanes, leaving the island without power and making it very difficult to contact loved ones.

Book Talk (8:51) Links Ch 106 [] [] 107 [] []and the [] | Mapcon 2017 | I spent last weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference and had the pleasure of meeting a hotel full of wonderful podcasters. Recording from home can be isolating at times, so it feels great to go out into the wild and meet up with fellow casters to talk about improving our shows and the impact we have on listeners.
