Guests: Ray Ortega, Abe Deshotel

Hosts: Stuart Yoshida, Doug Brown

While we hunker down in place, I’m holding a special Podcasters summit to talk about Ukulele in the time of the Corona Virus Pandemic. Special guests Ray Ortega of the Podcasters’ Studio, Abe Deshotel of the Ukulele Podcast, and my co-host Doug Brown join in to share their thoughts on making it through these difficult times. Oh, and then we totally geek out on Podcasting equipment.
