In this episode, we talk with... me...?

Hi it's Monica, the producer of DeKalb Talks Tourism! James wanted to do a podcast with me, and show it to his classes. We talk about how the podcast came to be, some behind the scenes stuff and more!!

Fun fact, James was my professor in my last year at Georgia State! I was kind of quiet in the class... but I still spoke... but I was still quiet.. you know? 

If there's one thing that you take away from this, please get to know your teachers!! They are there to help and guide you. My whole school career, I would always take that with a grain of salt and never made an effort to do that. But something came over me, in December 2022 in my Venue Management class, that made it possible for me to be here now. 

Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy this episode :)
