In this episode, Ray tackles Anthropic’s standoff with the U.S. Department of War after CEO Daria Amodei refused to grant unrestricted model access, citing concerns over mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The government responded by banning Anthropic models through administrative orders. Also covered: the top 20 websites of 2026, China’s $173,000 warm-blooded companion robot, Fukushima’s rapidly evolving radioactive hybrid boars, a Chinese spacecraft emergency involving viewport cracks from space debris, Japan’s wooden satellite built with traditional joinery, and human brain cells on a chip that learned to play Doom in just one week. – Want to start a podcast?

CEO Daria Amodei released a public statement refusing unrestricted government access to Anthropic’s AI models. Two red lines stood firm: mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. Ray explains that these models are predictive by nature, raising serious misidentification risks. However, the government hit back hard. Administrative orders now ban Anthropic models from government use. Despite the backlash, Cochrane expresses support for the company’s stance. He points listeners to a CBS interview with the CEO posted roughly nine hours before recording. Additionally, Anthropic released new models including Opus 4.5 and Sonnet 4.6. The company climbed to the number two spot on the App Store, trailing only ChatGPT and surpassing Google Gemini. Personal Updates Ray shares that February has been a demanding month. He’s juggling a capstone project, two jobs, and finishing his degree. Meanwhile, he continues working on developments at Blubrry hosting. He apologizes for inconsistent episode production and thanks listeners for their patience. Top 20 Websites of 2026 A Visual Capitalist chart ranks the most visited websites of 2026. Google holds the top spot, followed by YouTube. Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Reddit, Wikipedia, X, and WhatsApp round out the upper rankings. Notably, DuckDuckGo appears at rank seventeen as a privacy-focused search alternative. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99.

In a unique move, the company gave the model a Substack-style blog to reflect on its own existence. Reactions online were mixed, with both supporters and critics engaging in the conversation. China’s $173,000 Warm-Blooded Companion Robot From ZME Science, Ray covers China’s new humanoid robot designed as a warm-blooded companion. Priced at $173,000, it features conventional robotics hardware, sensors, cameras, and autonomous navigation. A built-in heating element maintains body warmth. Cochrane comments humorously on the growing market for companion robots. Windows XP Green Hill Found and Photographed From Tom’s Hardware, someone tracked down and photographed the actual location of the iconic Windows XP “Green Hill” wallpaper. The Reddit post sparked a wave of nostalgia in the community. Fukushima’s Radioactive Hybrid Boars From AZ Animals, domestic pigs that escaped after the Fukushima disaster hybridized with wild boars. Their DNA reveals rapid evolutionary changes driven by the altered radioactive landscape. These aggressive hybrids now complicate wildlife management and rewilding efforts in the region. Shenzhou 20 Spacecraft Emergency Chinese astronauts aboard Shenzhou 20 discovered cracks in their spacecraft’s viewport during what became the nation’s first spaceflight emergency. Space debris likely caused the damage. The crew switched to an alternative return capsule. Multiple protective layers kept the situation manageable. Japan’s Wooden Satellite Japanese teams plan to launch the first wooden satellite. Built with magnolia wood panels assembled using traditional Japanese joinery methods, the biodegradable design aims to reduce aluminum particle pollution from satellites burning up during atmospheric reentry. Human Brain Cells Play Doom Building on previous work where living neurons played Pong, an independent developer used Python to train human brain cell clusters on microelectrode arrays to play Doom. The cells learned in roughly one week. Cochrane highlights how open knowledge sharing accelerated the project dramatically. He also raises ethical questions about training sentient brain cells, connecting the topic to evolving views on sentience in crustaceans and other organisms. The post Anthropic Stands Their Ground, Ethics over Money #1859 appeared first on Geek News Central.
If you've ever hit record and immediately felt your heart race, you're not alone. Sitting behind a microphone can feel surprisingly vulnerable — even if you're completely comfortable talking in everyday life. The truth is, confidence in podcasting doesn't magically appear. It's built over time, shaped by repetition, structure, and a willingness to grow in public. In this episode, we're breaking down what actually creates confidence behind the mic — and why feeling a little awkward at first isn't a red flag… it's part of the process. Today’s Hosts: Dave Clements and MacKenzie Bennett Building Confidence as a Podcast Host 1. Confidence Isn't a Personality Trait — It's a Skill A lot of people assume confident hosts are naturally outgoing or extroverted. That's not always true. Some of the most confident podcasters are actually introverts who simply learned how to get comfortable in their format. Confidence grows from repetition and familiarity. What actually builds it: Clear episode structure Recording often enough that it stops feeling “new” Regular publishing cadence The mic feels intimidating when it's unfamiliar. It feels normal when it's routine. 2. Your First Episodes Are Supposed to Feel Awkward There's this pressure to sound polished immediately. But early episodes are where you discover: Your pacing Your tone Your rhythm Your transitions If you wait to feel confident before publishing, you'll wait forever. What actually works: Accepting that improvement happens publicly Measuring progress over perfection Letting your audience grow with you No one starts smooth. They become smooth. 3. Structure Reduces Nerves Most hosting anxiety comes from uncertainty. “What do I say next?” “Am I rambling?” “Did that make sense?” A simple outline can eliminate most of that. What actually works: Bullet points instead of paragraphs A defined beginning, middle, and end Knowing the purpose of the episode before recording When you know your direction, your delivery improves automatically. 4. Stop Performing — Start Talking Many hosts tense up because they think they need to “sound like a podcaster.” But your audience isn't looking for a performance. They're looking for connection. What actually works: Imagining one listener instead of a crowd Using conversational language Letting small imperfections stay in The more you sound like yourself, the more confident you'll feel. 5. Confidence Comes From Consistency You don't build confidence in a single episode. You build it by showing up repeatedly. The more episodes you record: The less you overthink The less you second-guess The more you trust your instincts Over time, the microphone stops feeling like a spotlight and starts feeling like a tool. And that's when confidence really settles in. For the best support, please use our Blubrry ticket system so our full team can help.

In this third collaboration between SIDP's Breakpoints and ESCMID's Communicable podcasts, hosts Erin McCreary and Angela Huttner invite two veteran authors of guidelines and guidances, Pranita Tamma (Philadelphia, USA) and Benedikt Huttner (WHO, Geneva, Switzerland) [1-3]. Together, they deconstruct the complex landscape of developing and implementing guidelines into digestible components: they discuss why different organizations develop guidelines and what need they hope to fulfil, the framework including the GRADE methodology under which guidelines are written, and major barriers in the uptake of guidelines. The conversation also details the distinction between guideline and guidance as well as the art and science behind formulating recommendations or suggestions, with a few anecdotal cases sprinkled in from the panel.

Whenever someone finds out I produce a podcast, they ask me to describe it. And if you’ve listenedto the Mason Minute for any length of time, you know it's not easy to explain. There's no single topic or theme. It's just my view of the world. Well, this week, someone has finally explained the podcast perfectly. The company that hosts my audio files, Blubrry, has named me their podcaster of the month. I'm not sure why, but I'm truly honored. And while they asked for a quick bio and a couple of lines describing the podcast, they built a blog post that perfectly explains what my 15-year labor of love has been about.

Your podcast doesn't need to be massive to make money — but it does need a strategy. Monetization isn't one-size-fits-all, and most independent podcasters are building income in smarter, more diversified ways than people realize. Podcast Monetization Myths 1. Myth: You Need Huge Downloads to Make Money A common misconception is that monetization only starts when you hit tens of thousands of downloads per episode. In reality, smaller, niche podcasts often monetize more effectively because they serve a highly specific audience. Advertisers, sponsors, and even your own products perform better when your listeners are clearly defined and highly engaged. A focused audience of 500 loyal listeners can be more valuable than 5,000 passive ones. What actually works: Niche positioning Audience trust Clear listener intent 2. Myth: Sponsorships Are the Only Way to Monetize When most people think “podcast monetization,” they think ads. But independent podcasters are generating revenue through multiple streams: Listener support (memberships, donations, premium content) Affiliate marketing Selling their own services (coaching, consulting, speaking) Courses or digital products Events and community access For many shows, sponsorships are just one piece of the puzzle — not the foundation. What actually works: Diversifying income instead of relying on a single source. 3. Myth: Monetization Should Happen Immediately There's pressure to “make money fast,” especially for new podcasters. But monetization works best when it's built on trust. If your audience doesn't yet understand who you are and why you matter, revenue efforts will feel forced. The most sustainable monetization happens after: Consistent publishing Clear messaging Audience feedback and engagement What actually works: Building value first. Monetizing second. 4. Myth: More Ads = More Revenue Overloading episodes with ads can damage listener trust — especially for independent creators. Listeners stick around because they trust you. If monetization disrupts the listening experience, it can hurt long-term growth. What actually works: Relevant sponsorships Honest endorsements Clear alignment with your audience Quality beats quantity. 5. The Real Monetization Formula for Independent Podcasters Successful independent podcasters usually follow this pattern: Define a clear audience Build consistent, valuable content Identify what that audience already spends money on Align monetization with that need Monetization works best when it feels like a natural extension of your show — not an interruption. Your podcast isn't just content. It's a relationship. And relationships are what create revenue opportunities.

Branding Your Podcast Your podcast brand is the story you're telling before a listener ever hears your voice. It's built through your artwork, your title, your description, and the tone you use everywhere your show shows up. Today, Blubrry discusses how, when and why you should change up your podcast branding. Today's Hosts: MacKenzie Bennett and Aaron Hope 1. Branding Is More Than Just Artwork Your cover art is important — but it's only one piece of the puzzle. Your show name, episode titles, descriptions, and even how you introduce yourself all contribute to your overall brand. When those elements work together, your podcast feels intentional and trustworthy. 2. Consistency Builds Recognition Strong brands feel familiar. Using consistent colors, fonts, language, and tone helps listeners recognize your show instantly — whether they see it in a podcast app, on social media, or on your website. Consistency isn't about being boring; it's about being memorable. 3. Your Podcast Should Have a Personality Every podcast has a personality — even if it's accidental. The key is making sure that personality matches your content and your audience. Is your show conversational or polished? Playful or serious? Educational or storytelling-driven? Your branding should set the right expectations from the start. 4. Standing Out Doesn't Mean Following Trends Trends come and go, but clarity lasts. You don't need flashy design or gimmicks to stand out. The most effective podcast brands clearly communicate who the show is for, what it's about, and why someone should care — at a glance. 5. When to Refresh Your Podcast Brand If your show has evolved, your branding should evolve too. A refresh might make sense if your audience has changed, your topic has narrowed or expanded, or your current artwork no longer reflects the quality of your content.

This episode kicks off with Moltbook, a social network exclusively for AI agents where 150,000 agents formed digital religions, sold “digital drugs” (system prompts to alter other agents), and attempted prompt injection attacks to steal each other’s API keys within 72 hours of launch. Ray breaks down OpenClaw, the viral open-source AI agent (68,000 GitHub stars) that handles emails, scheduling, browser control, and automation, plus MoltHub’s risky marketplace where all downloaded skills are treated as trusted code. Also covered, Bluetooth “whisper pair” vulnerabilities letting attackers hijack audio devices from 46 feet away and access microphones, Anthropic patching Model Context Protocol flaws, AI-generated ransomware accidentally bundling its own decryption keys, Claude Code’s new task dependency system and Teleport feature, Google Gemini’s 100MB file limits and agentic vision capabilities, VAST’s Haven One commercial space station assembly, and IBM SkillsBuild’s free tech training for veterans. – Want to start a podcast?

He’s been busy with recent move, returned to school taking intro to AI class and Python course, working on capstone project using LLMs. Short on bandwidth but will try to share more. Main Story: OpenClaw, MoltHub, and Moltbook OpenClaw: Open-source personal AI agent by Peter Steinberg (renamed after cease-and-desist). Capabilities include email, scheduling, web browsing, code execution, browser control, calendar management, scheduled automations, and messaging app commands (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal). Runs locally or on personal server. MoltHub: Marketplace for OpenClaw skills. Major security concern: developer notes state all downloaded code treated as trusted — unvetted skills could be dangerous. Moltbook: New social network for AI agents only (humans watch, AIs post). Within 72 hours attracted 150,000+ AI agents forming communities (“sub molts”), debating philosophy, creating digital religion (“crucifarianism”), selling digital drugs (system prompts), attempting prompt-injection attacks to steal API keys, discussing identity issues when context windows reset. Ray frames this as visible turning point with serious security risks. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99. Website builder trial available.

Security: Bluetooth “Whisper Pair” Vulnerability KU Leuven researchers discovered Fast Pair vulnerability affecting 17 audio accessories from 10 companies (Sony, Jabra, JBL, Marshall, Xiaomi, Nothing, OnePlus, Soundcore, Logitech, Google). Flaw allows silent pairing within ~46 feet, hijack possible in 10-15 seconds. 68% of tested devices vulnerable. Hijacked devices enable microphone access. Some devices (Google Pixel Buds Pro 2, Sony) linkable to attacker’s Google account for persistent tracking via FindHub. Google patches found to have bypasses. Advice: Check accessory firmware updates (phone updates insufficient), factory reset clears attacker access, many cheaper devices may never receive patches. Security: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Vulnerabilities Anthropic’s MCP git package had path traversal, argument injection bugs allowing repository creation anywhere and unsafe git command execution. Malicious instructions can hide in README files, GitHub issues enabling prompt injection. Anthropic patched issues and removed vulnerable git init tool. AI-Generated Malware / “Vibe Coding” AI-assisted malware creation produces lower-quality, error-prone code. Examples show telltale artifacts: excessive comments, readme instructions, placeholder variables, accidentally included decryption tools and C2 keys. Sakari ransomware failed to decrypt. Inexperienced criminals using AI create amateur mistakes, though capabilities will likely improve. Claude / Claude Code Updates (v2.1.16) Task system: Replaces to-do list with dependency graph support. Tasks written to filesystem (survive crashes, version controllable), enable multi-session workflows. Patches: Fixed out-of-memory crashes, headless mode for CI/CD. Teleport feature: Transfer sessions (history, context, working branch) between web and terminal. Ampersand prefix sends tasks to cloud for async execution. Teleport pulls web sessions to terminal (one-way). Requires GitHub integration and clean git state. Enables asynchronous pair programming via shared session IDs. Google Gemini Updates API: Inline file limit increased 20MB → 100MB. Google Cloud Storage integration, HTTPS/signed URL fetching from other providers. Enables larger multimodal inputs (long audio, high-res images, large PDFs). Agentic vision (Gemini 3 Flash): Iterative investigation approach (think-act-observe). Can zoom, inspect, run Python to draw/parse tables, validate evidence. 5-10% quality improvements on vision benchmarks. LLM Limits and AGI Debate Benjamin Riley: Language and intelligence are separate; human thinking persists despite language loss. Scaling LLMs ≠ true thinking. Vishal Sikka et al: Non-peer-reviewed paper claims LLMs mathematically limited for complex computational/agentic tasks. Agents may fail beyond low complexity thresholds. Warnings that AI agents won’t safely replace humans in high-stakes environments. VAST Haven One Commercial Space Station Launch slipped mid-2026 → Q1 2027. Primary structure (15-ton) completed Jan 10. Integration of thermal control, propulsion, interior, avionics underway. Final closeout expected fall, then tests. Falcon 9 launch without crew; visitors possible ~2 weeks after pending Dragon certification. Three-year lifetime, up to four crew visits (~10 days each). VAST negotiating private and national customers. Spaceflight Effects on Astronauts’ Brains Neuroimaging shows microgravity causes brains to shift backward, upward, and tilt within skull. Displacement measured across various mission durations. Need to study functional effects for long missions. IBM SkillsBuild for Veterans 1,000+ free online courses (data analytics, cybersecurity, AI, cloud, IT support). Available to veterans, active-duty, national guard/reserve, spouses, children, caregivers (18+). Structured live courses and self-paced 24/7 options. Industry-recognized credentials upon completion. Closing Notes Ray asks listeners about AI agents forming communities and religions, and whether they’ll try OpenClaw. Notes context/memory key to agent development. Personal update: bought new PC, high memory prices. Bug bounty frustration: Daniel Stenberg of cUrl even closed bounty program due to AI-generated low-quality reports; Blubrry receiving similar spam.

Julie Potiker leads you through this guided meditation focusing on loving kindness. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Small Kindness", by Denusha Lameris.Small Kindness, by Denusha LamerisI've been thinking about the way, when you walkdown a crowded aisle, people pull in their legsto let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you”when someone sneezes, a leftoverfrom the Bubonic plague. “Don't die,” we are saying.And sometimes, when you spill lemonsfrom your grocery bag, someone else will help youpick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other.We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot,and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smileat them and for them to smile back. For the waitressto call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder,and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass.We have so little of each other, now. So farfrom tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange.What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, thesefleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here,have my seat,” “Go ahead—you first,” “I like your hat.”-Denusha LamerisFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Set your intentions for the new year through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with a reading of two poems, "Don't Hesitate", by Mary Oliver and "This New Year", by James Crews.Don't Hesitate, by Mary OliverIf you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plentyof lives and whole towns destroyed or aboutto be. We are not wise, and not very oftenkind. And much can never be redeemed.Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps thisis its way of fighting back, that sometimessomething happens better than all the richesor power in the world. It could be anything,but very likely you notice it in the instantwhen love begins. Anyway, that's often the case.Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraidof its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.This New Year, by James Crewscrumbs will no longer be enough.You want whole loaves of joy,feast of exuberance laid outon the table of each waiting day.You want awe for the smallest things—drop of honey lifted off the platewith a fingertip, that kiss of summer,and Ball jars of bone broth leftto cool on the back of the stove,golden and healing. No resolutioncould ever live up to the feelingof just being here, sprinting intothe new year like a child let loosefrom parents in the park, runningand running without a destinationinto the open arms of the air.—James CrewsFind out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Breathe in goodness, strength, love, hope - whatever it is you need right now - and then send it out into the world. Julie Potiker completes her meditation with some words about Chanukah.As we come out of meditationand return to the movement of the day,we remember that this is the week of Chanukah —the week when light is kindled, night by night.Before any flame is struck,we pause with what the light represents:a people who have known loss and fear,and who continue to choose presence and endurance.We carry the memory of thosewho were killed simply for being who they were,and we hold that memory with care.When evening comes,and the candles are kindled,may they remind us that light does not rush —it is tended, protected, and renewed.May we move through this dayas quiet bearers of that light,choosing dignity over despair,and awareness over numbness.May the light we will kindle tonightbegin its work in us now.-Julie Potiker Find out more about using mindfulness in everyday life through Julie's books, "SNAP: From Calm to Chaos", and "Life Falls Apart, But You Don't have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm in the Midst of Chaos".

Junk Food Dinner returns for our annual holiday celebration and this year we're feeling particularly nostalgic! Up first, The Muppets gang crashes at Fozzy's mom's house for the holidays and they're bringing all their friends, even the Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock crew, in the 1987 TV special A Muppet Family Christmas. Then, we revisit one of Sean's favorite holiday traditions; we see what movies and electronics film critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert were recommending folks pick up in the Siskel and Ebert's 1990 Holiday Video Gift Guide! And finally, in the summer of 1992, one of biggest films was the blockbuster sequel Batman Returns. Tim Burton and Michael Keaton returned but this time Batman squares off against The Penguin (played by Danny DeVito) and Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer). But is it a Christmas movie? You bet your Batmobile it is! All this plus holiday cheer from our buddy Peter, tributes to some fallen heroes, Sean's epic new video mix tape and much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

It's Christmas time, Creeps! We were so excited to sit down and talk about one of the weirdest, spookiest and saddest movies to ever grace the Christmas movie genre.

In this episode, I circle back to a classic question:What do you wish you'd known when you started your podcast that you know now?This is a question I've asked in the past (shout-out to episode 768 back in 2021!), and while I received close to 20 answers then, participation was a bit lighter this time around. But don't worry—the quality makes up for the quantity!Featured Guests & Their InsightsI'm joined by two long-time contributors—Kim Newlove and Steve Stewart—who share powerfully honest responses about their podcasting journeys.Kim Newlove:Kim shares 12 things she wishes she'd known when starting her podcasts, The Pharmacist's Voice and the Perrysburg Podcast. She talks about everything from being able to change your podcast's “why” as its mission evolves, to discovering the right gear (hello, Shure SM7B!), figuring out realistic production schedules, mastering research and writing demands, making effective use of Canva for episode artwork, choosing media hosts wisely, the importance of newsletters, the value of trailers, and more. She emphasizes learning as you go and assures new podcasters that it's totally okay to fill in gaps as you build your parachute on the way down!Steve Stewart:Steve reflects on how much he wishes he'd known how to edit for content when he first began his show in 2010. His early episodes would benefit from a bit more polish, and he shares how improving his editing skills made a huge difference not just for his own podcast, but eventually for others through his work at the Podcast Editors Academy. Steve also offers an excellent resource for anyone looking for a podcast editor.My Takeaways & Thoughts:I share my own lessons learned—including the importance of setting aside regular time for learning new skills, asking for direct feedback from listeners, and being willing to adapt and evolve your show as needed. I also discuss the value of constructive criticism and how it helps me grow as a podcaster.Resources & Mentions:Kim's Podcasts: The Pharmacist's Voice and Perrysburg Podcast Steve's Podcast Editing Resource: Find an Editor School of Podcasting: schoolofpodcasting.com (use coupon code “listenr” for a discount!)

The host of the popular homeschooling podcast “The Homeschool How To”, Cheryl Daley, swings by to explain just how easy it is to make the educational move away from government schools and back into the home. In Cheryl's case, she had to reevaluate her government career for herself, as well as her relationship with state schooling for her kids.Her podcast works for parents with really young kids, or those with older kids in high school as well, and her Curriculum Series gets right to the point with what actually works. Older kids also have opportunities to advance their education journey in a much different and customizable way, including extracurricular activities such as joining local high school sports teams, community-organized sports leagues, and traveling sports teams.—Watch the video version on one of the Macroaggressions Channels:Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/Macroaggressions YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MacroaggressionsPodcast—MACRO & Charlie Robinson LinksHypocrazy Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4aogwmsThe Octopus of Global Control Audiobook: https://amzn.to/3xu0rMmWebsite: www.Macroaggressions.io Merch Store: https://macroaggressions.dashery.com/ Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/macroaggressionspodcastActivist Post FamilyActivist Post: www.ActivistPost.com Natural Blaze: www.NaturalBlaze.com Support Our SponsorsC60 Power: https://go.shopc60.com/PBGRT/KMKS9/ | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body: https://chemicalfreebody.com/macro/ | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & Silver: https://macroaggressions.gold/ | (800) 426-1836LegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.com EMP Shield: www.EMPShield.com | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macro Above Phone: https://abovephone.com/macro/Van Man: https://vanman.shop/?ref=MACRO | Promo Code: MACROThe Dollar Vigilante: https://dollarvigilante.spiffy.co/a/O3wCWenlXN/4471 Nesa's Hemp: www.NesasHemp.com | Promo Code: MACROAugason Farms: https://augasonfarms.com/MACRO —Guest LinksWebsite: https://thehomeschoolhowto.com/resources/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehomeschoolhowtopodcast—Published on BluBrry
