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.

I think my husband was like, my wife is losing her mind or the very next day. And we had kind

of a traumatic Christmas. Right. Things that happened in our family that just, you know, just

made it really hard. And then we went up to Jay's parents house, drove up there to celebrate

Christmas. Do you remember this, honey? She's nodding at me. Yeah, as I'm trying to forget.

And everybody got the flu. So the day before the day before I was supposed to have
