My Own Talk Show - Hosted by Michael Cusack

In this episode I take a trip down "short term" memory lane and I look back at the highlights and favourite moments of The My Own Talk Podcast - Season 1.

I am so grateful to every person that has helped make this little adventure a possibility, whether they have been a guest, for those that have provided constructive feedback, one time listeners, or an every episode listener. Without each of you, this would not be a possibility.
