A Place For My Stuff – Yes I have/had another podcast.  A couple of podcasts actually.  With the rising price of everything, I opted not to pay to have Inside the Guest Studio available forever.  

I have this convenient landing spot called My Alien Life Podcast which WILL remain forever – thus, this is part of my life, as will be the episodes of Inside the Guest Studio.  A podcast that is graced by some unique and very talented people that live slightly off the grid.

Enjoy
