Differently Brained

Podcasting is Weird - a "Meta-episode"

It's been roughly 18 months since we started this podcast, and we thought it'd be high time to reflect on the process, what we've learned and what we've struggled with. A behind-the -scenes look at Differently Brained.But more than that, this is an episode in which we hype each other. Love us.Love our show.
