    Judge Comment: The intimacy in this podcast is warm, friendly and authentic. Clearly the conversation of this topic always needs to occur. Your guest was appropriate and informative. Segment preparation is key, be a firm believer in scripts, questions, and some facts to give the ability for our guests to provide additional insights. Let's work on identifying the business end of the podcast, who you are, the website, the other topics in this series, if this is the last one of that series. We need to assume ownership of that part of the process, including setting up our faculty friend on the other side of the microphone more. Plus, let's consider how we need to get the listener/viewer involved and make the content more interactive. Keep up the important work.
