Adventures in Podcasting
Podcasting is an adventure, peppered with challenges along the way, but full of unexpected rewards. Pilar has been podcasting since 2014 and is now ready to help others along the way.
This show has some solo shows and some guest interviews - and a whole month of NaPodPoMo episodes.
Join Pilar's little podcasting corner, sometimes on her own, sometimes with guests, from where she can share what's she's learned (and is still learning) about podcasting and through that, about herself.
