This week on the show, I chatted with author, podcaster, and veteran of public radio Kitty Felde. We had a wonderful chat about her middle grade mysteries and her podcasts as well as podcasting for authors. Being a guest is a great way to dip your toes into podcasting if you’re curious about it or simply to get some publicity if you prefer being a guest only. Have a listen!
