The Middle School Mind

by The Middle School Mind

Welcome to The Middle School Mind Podcast! This podcast gives a voice and an online outlet for my son to talk about (almost) anything and (almost) everything that is on his mind. My son has a variety of interests spanning: Movies, TV, Anime, Books and Theater. I’m here to serve as his co-host, his sounding board, webmaster, audio engineer, and SEO guru so this website and podcast can be seen and heard by someone (aside from his mom). I’m also there to make sure we stick to a relatively coherent train of thought and stick to as close to 20 minutes or less per episode.
