Hi Twitter and #blooducation family! I'm considering new podcast recording software that allows people to watch live interview sessions, and even "call-in" with questions.

The great Vin Scully says just about everything better than I ever could, so please take a minute, on Veteran’s Day, to hear one of his memories. To all who have served, thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 https://t.co/6WDq1ddP0B

I'm honored, @jwjacobs12! Sandy Nance was so much fun to talk to, and the MMA is not as well understood as it should be. #BBGuypodcast https://t.co/C1sNAneClD
