I’ve been friends with Rolando Garcia III for a while now, and we seem to have a fun tradition of meeting up for lunch and having great discussions whenever I visit NYC. While we decided to spare you the restaurant noises, we didn’t want to deprive you of a podcast. Considering that Rolando’s book launched just a few days ago, it seemed more than appropriate to get this podcast out to you now. It’s linked below for online listening via iTunes, Stitcher, and now fancy slideshow version on Youtube! (Which do you enjoy most? Please tell me in the comments section at the bottom of this post) Testing some other new systems mean you actually get some SHOW NOTES this time! 🙂 Hurrah! Let me know if that’s something you enjoy or not (it’s a lot of work, so if you don’t care, please tell me!)
Listen to this episode of the GiryaGirl Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher, or directly on the GiryaGirl Podcast website.
