Earlier this year I attended to annual Society for Military History academic conference in San Diego. I was invited to participate in a panel on podcasting, aptly named Making Airwaves.
Fellow podcaster Philip Shackelford not only organized the panel, but recorded the discussion live - which I am releasing today. My sincerest gratitude goes to Philip who has his own show, The Modern Scholar Podcast, as well as Bill Allison from Military Historians are People Too, Kelly DeVries with Bow and Blade, and Ron Granieri with the War Room for welcoming me and being some of the best co-panelists a girl could ask for.
