That is perfectly fine! You might not be the host of your own recurring segment right away, but we will work with you to help you build the skills you need to be polished podcaster. We have materials and guides to help you get started, and you might be surprised to learn how useful something as mundane as a smartphone can be for podcasting. | |||
We recognize the volunteer work you are doing, and are determined to create value for you through skill building (and fun!) along the way. | |||
