ALBAN'S POD-CAST
Alban did, in-fact, break his wrist attempting to learn to snow board. Let it be known: Jordan was only joking about podcasters signing his arm cast at Podfest and she will not be held responsible for any sign-and-run incidents that occur during Alban's attendance.  

BUZZSPROUT BACKTRACKS
Our podcasters' year-in-review email got a little upgrade!
To find more Buzzsprout Backtracks in the wild, search #BuzzsproutBacktracks on socials.

BUZZSPROUT SUBSCRIPTIONS

SPOTIFY ADDS CHAPTERS
Spotify supports chapters now, but only if they are in the description (similar to YouTube's method). Kevin hates it. 

• Chapters on Spotify - to kludge or not to kludge? by James Cridland
