WGRL got a reboot this summer with our mighty “Podcast Power” class! We learned the ins and outs of the pod biz, did some recording, created a confessional booth and even visited “the Daily” at the New York Times! Just in time for Halloween while the veils between worlds are the thinnest we are releasing our convo on reincarnation! Please enjoyed this youth generated content and don’t forget to leave a 5 star review for the hard working team!
