Welcome to the Tiny Pencils Podcast! This is a two-part social media series, and to confuse you, we've switched the order of these episodes; if you haven't already, you might want to go listen to the other episode. In this episode, we chat about the social media fear, creating a community and getting back to messages. We hope to add more to this series, so let us know if you have any questions!
