To put a punctuation mark on 2020, here are a few of the highlights from The Business of Blueberries so far. We like to think of all of our episodes as must-listens, but here are a few you might want to go back and absorb again and again. It was hard to narrow down this list to only seven, but here they are. Grab a boost of blue and enjoy the highlights from these seven episodes.

Tim Hammerich is normally the producer behind the scenes of The Business of Blueberries podcast. This week, he steps in to guest host the episode that shares some highlights from 2020 episodes.

“As it became clear that in-person interactions were out of the question, I helped Kasey launch this podcast as a way to keep the lines of communication open. I don’t think we could ever have predicted the level of positive response we would receive from this show.” - Tim Hammerich
