We’ve re-posted this podcast.  There was a technical glitch on my end.  Hopefully I got it right this time. Episode 7  is in production – but so are report cards…

It’s been a cold and snowy week here in Stittsville.  Maybe that gave us time to get out our fifth episode of PortablePD.  Hope you enjoy it.
