New Episodes Coming late September/early October 2016

It’s been a crazy year. CRAZY! But I finally found time to get caught up and I have MANY, MANY new interviews to release.

I also have a ton of “Extras and After Shows” to privately share. I’ve created a private podcasting system that lets folks who want to hear the Extras and After Shows subscribe to their own private podcast feed. Just working the final bugs out right now LOL.

I’m excited! Before I could only email the links to those private episodes. But soon you’ll be able to add it to your podcast app as a free podcast subscription!
