Episode 53

Two days ago, just before I sat down to put the finishing touches on this episode, I actually attended a conference on social media. Two of the five sessions I attended on the first day pertained to podcasting, and part of me wonders if the ideas I took away from them will be evident to my listeners and followers going forward. They’ll be subtle changes, so don’t expect a complete tear-down of what you’ve come to expect – but hopefully they can make for a better product overall. That streak of great guests I’ve been talking about lately? It’s very much intact. You’ll probably notice that today’s show runs a little on the long side. That’s because my guest today was so passionate and well-spoken that it pained me to edit much of her discussion. The show takes me back to Scandinavia for the first time since last spring, and brought upon a great moment of turnabout for yours truly. You see by now I’m legend for acting aghast at what people haven’t seen (though I’ve been trying to tone down the act). This episode, a title comes up that I haven;t seen, and it was pretty shameful to admit. Listen in to discover which one. One of the best conversations I’ve had on this show awaits – I hope you enjoy. Here’s what’s in store in episode fifty-three… Runtime 73 minutes, 50 seconds Up for Discussion 1. Introduction 2.
