Step two for the podcast project— the research! Remember, the content is the priority, so this a big chunk of the work. *I used a different method for recording this episode and though I don’t like the extra sounds that showed up somehow, I’m not going to re-record it. I’m putting the imperfections out there, as part of the learning experience.** Also the song after the intro is “Wabash Cannonball” recorded by Roy Acuff in 1936.
