Testimonials

The second session where we got to pitch our podcast ideas and get feedback from John and the others in the workshop was so helpful! It was great to have to articulate my idea and everyone's feedback was so thoughtful. It was also interesting and helpful to hear other people's ideas and how they're approaching their shows. I also appreciated all of the wisdom John shared in the first session.
