ModelGeeks Episode 16; Social Media; Help or Hurt....You Decide

Welcome to Episode 016 of the ModelGeeks Podcast. Following up on Ep. 15 where we discussed the impending “Death” of the hobby. In this episode we discuss how Social Media has made a solitary; introverted sort of hobby more “social” than ever and the role it is playing in our hobby.  Also, fresh off of MOSQUITOCON 29, we’ll share our thoughts on the show. As always, we’ll answer the mail, continue our local hobby shop shoutouts, sent to us by you, our listeners.  So, make sure you send us an e-mail with your favorite mom and pop hobby shop and help the hobby! Lastly, we will touch on some of the issues making the news.  So, head on over to your bench turn up the volume, and start building!! Contact the ModelGeeks: [email protected] you would like to support the Geeks please take a moment to head over to our new The ModelGeeks Patreon.  There you will be able to donate and help support us in our endeavor.
