More thoughts on what my podcast is about as I truck across Southern California. This podcast does not exist to attract the maximum number of listeners, but to talk about what's on my mind as if the listener were setting in the seat next to me. If you can't handle what I have to say in the podcast then you wouldn't like to talk to me in person, either! The links for today's show are:
