[…] you can't build something, I think, sustainably off something that isn't authentic. I think it needs to be an extension of yourself, especially if it's you that you're essentially selling… [if it's] your, sort of, craft or your skill. That's something that I find really interesting: The balance between what actually is good practice and what actually is just uniquely you. ~ Hayley Chilvers from 21:30 The conversation navigates the complexities of podcasting for hosts and guests, contemplating how the recording environment shapes the natural flow of conversation.

I appreciate your time and attention, and I don’t take it for granted. --- Your support makes a difference! I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I’m limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I’m doing. Every dollar really makes a difference.

I have no staff, no assistant… it’s just one maniac with a mic and a keyboard. If this labor of love makes your life more livable in any way, please consider contributing.
