Thanks to Sheldon Greaves for guest teaching and hosting, to James Estrada for working post-production MIRACLES, and as always to Steven Nelson for the beautiful bumper music.
I love these podcasts. They provide a mental flossing that feels refreshing. Much like a complex and layered confection, my GD lessons now reflect those same characteristics which is a sweet accomplishment for myself (self-proclaimed non-scriptorian).
I just wanted you to know that I appreciate them. I’ve begun making a monthly donation and I encourage others to do the same.
PS. My favorite part of this particular set of podcasts…the angry typing in the background ;-). No really, it gives a mid-century newsroom feel that is appealing 😀
Thank you again.
