Over the weekend I was on the Instagram account for the Now Hear This Entertainment podcast and was looking at posts from past guests on the show.  Of course, this is the time of year when recording artists are putting up the “wrapped” image generated by Spotify that shows t

In just over two months I will hit the six-year anniversary of my weekly podcast.  I’ve always taken great pride in the fact that a new episode has been delivered on-time, every week since February 2014 (Episode 304 comes out just under 48 hours from now).
