Podcast appearances and mentions of ken curtis

Welcome back to the studio.  This is My Day of Play, where you're taken into the real events and actions of how it happens long before the process of editing or cleaning up.  The original purpose of these episodes was to give my broadcasting students something to edit, to practice with and to call their own.  Then I realized that you are just as important.  Share the reality of how it really went.  We begin things with Ken Curtis and Jillian Hughes the creators of Geeking Out Heroes and Olympians.  But they've got something new to bring to families.  Then we'll step into the realms of reality with true crime podcaster Sloane Glass. And we'll wrap things up with an amazing actress and activator.  The unforgettable Stephanie Powers.  This is My Day of Play.  Completely unedited in the way of meeting the wizard behind the curtain.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
