I'll have to work it in and experiment with the idea. It might boost the authors who appear.<br /><br />On the flip side, I think the podcast helps me by putting another line in the water. People may discover me by chance because they listen to pods and dig mysteries. More likely, they're a fan of my guest and listen for that reason and decide they might give my work a try or at least keep listening.<br /><br />But the real value in the podcast for me has been the human connection with other writers. Most mystery writers are great people and meeting them is good for the soul. Even before Covid, my existence has been hermetical since about 2017 when I hung up my teacher skates (post LE retirement). So getting to meet new people and to spend time with old friends has been invaluable for my heart.<br /><br />If that sells a book or two for either of us, even better. :-) <br /><br />Frank Zafirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846847831614880053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994072470312639837.post-58912786880735644552020-12-01T14:47:48.017-08:002020-12-01T14:47:48.017-08:00How does your podcast work for you?
