They discuss attending events, with the perspective as an attendee and exhibitor, and how they've been the fish out of water before. It's easy to get overwhelmed or lost in...

Sometimes, podcasting is as easy as setting a schedule and sticking to it. Sure, there are a myriad of other factors that go into the production, publishing, etc. but there is no show if you can't sit down and record. Sarah Duncan and Pamela Walker-Dees know a thing or two about managing schedules and they decided Monday evenings were their go-to recording schedule for their podcast, Motherhood on Tap. And in the theme of setting schedules, we might have reordered this one a bit too early. A big...
