Summary

This is a quick episode to let you know that starting Tuesday, March 5, 2024 – we’ll be doing the weekly Tuesday Question episodes. Every week in the Facebook group, we have a new thought-provoking question. These questions always generate a lot of great discussion, and this weekly post has become very popular. Now, every Tuesday Scott Johnson (host of What Was That Like) and Meredith Hackwith Edwards (host of Meredith For Real: The Curious Introvert) will pick a question from the archives and give their answers, and discuss some of the answers given by other listeners. This is discussion that’s designed to make you think! The weekly Tuesday Question episodes are in addition to the regular podcast episodes – the What Was That Like podcast episode schedule will continue bi-weekly as it has for over 5 years.
