  1. I hope you continue to do podcasts with common folk like MariH [with interesting stories to tell] or other writers such as Doug Lain and many others you do well with as a team. I tried to post the following comment to your Chapter 12 audio called “Writing Wrongs”, but it did no go online? Was it censored for some reason? Here are the comments about that audio you posted on your Chapter 12: You might consider redoing the audio when you have time. Imo, there were too many wind and noise distractions on the first 55 minutes that made it very hard to hear and focus on your words and meaning. Also, you do far far better when you’re interviewing or talking with another person to share whatever points you’re trying to make. Considering this is the end of Part 1 of 12 chapters I think you need a different audio “finish” than this one. You can do much better than what you have now. Your talent really shines with another person in the conversation, and I think it is essential for this midterm ending to have a 2nd person with you to hear on the audio too. Of course, Doug Lain would be an excellent choice.
