So, let’s catch up! I had some recording glitches the last few recording. I have switched my recording platform and it seems to have fixed it. That being said the last 2 podcasts have clicking when I talk; thankfully not the guests!
Unfortunately, there were many issues with Lorri Britt’s talk. Please look at her book; I read it cover to cover; as a Mom, it really hit the heartstrings! I am still working on editing her talk, and hope to salvage all of her!
Please visit my YouTube channel and SUBSCRIBE – Prison POD Productions , this helps me and it will send you a message when a new YouTube video is posted. Thank you!
Season 2 just wrapped up, and the podcasts were sent off to Edovo to be placed on the tablets. I am working on getting the podcast on ViaPath – it is taking some time, but it is in motion.
Season 3 will be back in September 2023
Update…Last month I recorded with Sheila Bruno, author of “Wife After Prison“. Sadly, there were many issues with the recording, and it will require more editing. I wanted to make sure you visited her site, and explore her book.
Last week I talked with Leigh Goodmark, author of “Imperfect Victims“.
I’d like to thank Tavares James & John McLaughlin for being guests on Season 2 Episode 5. We had a great conversation about Entrepreneurship & How to get Where you are going!
I had the opportunity to attend a ZOOM called “Imagining Freedom”.
