Check out some of my other writing and guest appearances on podcasts. I used to run my own podcast, but now I prefer to “guest around” on other shows. Also, if you think of a podcast I would be a good guest for, please let me know.

As much as possible, I’ll try to keep these in chronological order, with the oldest toward the bottom and the newest toward the top.
