Thoughts On Building Community & Podcasting with Pepe Bandit & Folk Punk Dad #29
Manage episode 423721276 series 3476161
Pepe Bandit & Folk Punk Dad respond to a listener question about building community in a small town. Then they reflect on what it's been like to be podcasting for over a year & they discuss some changes you can expect with the podcast. We close out playing the song "Ghost Of Apartment B2" by Tall Travis because it wasn't ready when we originally released their episode a few months back.
