Am I Losing My Voice?

I had issues with my voice some time ago, and wondered how I would manage this situation. Should I continue with my podcast? How could get a return on my investment (in energy, time, and money) and engagement? I talk about MTV’s campaign, Choose or Lose, and a service called Ground News Pro.

Freedom of the Press and Time for George Washington Day

Don’t you think it is time to celebrate George Washington Day on February 22? Read Allan C. Miller’s piece, A Presidents Day perspective on the nature of a free press. I have had the following quote from George Washington (March 15, 1783) on my Facebook page:

“the freedom of Speech may be taken away—and, dumb & silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

From George Washington’s Mount Vernon page on the National Gazette (established in 1791):

“George Washington's support for a free press and the First Amendment ironically helped to make the National Gazette possible.”

In this episode I will tell a little about my future plans, as I soon will reach the milestone of 100+ published episodes of this podcast, since I started podcasting in 2006.
