Today, I have a special guest. Eric Zimmer has one of the top podcasts as rated by iTunes. It’s called “The One You Feed” and I have personally gained a lot from listening to it.
(This episode was marked “explicit” because the word other word “rump exit” is used a few times. You can probably handle that, but I can only mark the thing “clean” or “explicit” –ugh!)
Thank you to everyone who has helped with encouragement and gifts to keep the Spark My Muse show going.
If you have never contributed before, but you’ve enjoyed listening, now is a good time to chip in.
