Q&A Saturday - Kevin Touch and Dee Bolemon

Each Saturday at 3PM EST, Kevin Touch and I host a Record with Friends for brand new members of Anchor. We discuss their experiences during the first few days of being on Anchor and through their eyes, we can share with others who may be feeling and dealing with the same. We field questions and answer them on the spot. On this final call of the 2017 series, Dee Bolemon describes herself as an "Introvert" and she initially thought that this might be a hindrance to her participation in a podcasting venue such as Anchor. We discussed it and found a way to learn how to overcome this "perceived" notion that many of us experience. Share with us now the magic of Anchor Audio and the Record with Friends connection.
