Restarting the Podcast
Three years ago, I tried podcasting. It went surprisingly well! It was a big distraction for me and there was just too much else to figure out and focus on.
Here are the episodes that I completed.

Most were deleted because I did this ridiculous pitch for my ‘Creator’s Co-op’ which was my idea for makerspaces to do bulk purchasing together. I was trying to get way too many things off the ground at the same time. I moved the hosting to this site, so I deleted most of them to save on hosting costs.
Anyway, a few years later, I feel like it would be a good way to talk through and start developing ideas. I think the name will be ‘A new vision for education’
First episode will be sometime later next week!
