Back to School Again returns
|
|
We're excited to have Back to School Again back for another season!
Last year, we promoted Katrina Ingram's podcast about returning to the classroom in midlife, as she got the podcast off the ground. This year, it's back as a full-fledged member of the network.
The Alberta Podcast Network came to life in part because of Katrina, so this is an extra-special addition. Watch for the season debut on Sept. 17.
