another great interview Nick! Have to check out some of his music now……
Great podcast and keep up the good work. Hi Donna, you sound like you are talking into a tin can, is there anyway to fix this? Can you also add the five questions that Nick uses towards the end of his interviews? I find these questions to be very informative. I can’t wait to hear more from Steve Goodson.
Thanks again,
Sean
Hi Sean, For some interviews, due to the connection we had, I could not use my usual equipment.
As for the 5 questions, Nick and I like to run the interviews according to our own styles. Sometimes I may use them.
Thanks for your thoughts.
