Actually, I had some great material for National Podcast Post Month this year, but I was just too busy to even try to start. But I still want to put it out, so I suspect if there comes a month where I'm not as busy, NaPodPoMo or not, I'll put it out there, so hang in. Thanks!

For the Canadian National Day of Podcasting, Matt and Valerie review their National Podcast Post Month, with what they did and didn't learn. Concludes with Derek and Clive.
