Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com for its such podcasters to get started.

it tells me they're listening to the podcast. So I am excited today because I have one of

my writers from the Busy Mom is on the podcast today with me. I get questions from time to

time from moms who have special needs kids. You know, they're either they're homeschooling

a child with autism or with Asperger. Sometimes I get questions about Down syndrome. And Melissa,

who is my virtual assistant at the Busy Mom and also writes for me from time to time came
