Time to take a quick break from interviews and catch up with voicemails about changing eating habits, finding great female role models, old-style computers and science fairs. I am also a member of the Parsec Awards Steering Committee, so I talk about the awards and encourage you all to nominate your favorite podcasts.

Also, Kevin Cumming’s son Evan has also written and is producing an audio drama, The Airship Diaries, and I encourage you all to check it out. Kevin is a proud dad, and Evan’s work sounds great!

Thanks for all the input, and keep it coming! And, if you have some time, I would appreciate a review on iTunes! And if you appreciate this show and other great Farpoint Media shows, please visit my website and contribute to the campaign to help Farpoint Media!
