NOW…I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

You knew the question was coming.  So… let’s get to it.

How about YOU? 

What questions (big or small) do YOU still have about the podcasting world… and/or starting your own podcast?

Just think about it.  You could have a “limited release” podcast with just 10 episodes… but THAT would give you the excuse to have fun conversations with REALLY interesting people.  

And it would be something that would allow you to spark really interesting convos at parties and networking events.  

YOU could do it!

So… as Cassidyy said, “Why not YOU!?!”

Let’s go!

Leave a comment below or shoot us an email and let us know!  

And hey… if you leave/send a question… I WILL get back to you!

And seriously… we LOVE hearing from YOU!!!

Let’s do this!
