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 forward slash podcasters to get started.

County, Washington, where my husband and I live, which I'll tell you about in a bit. And

so kind of romance or the last thing on my mind, not that I don't love my husband, but

I'm like Valentine's Day, really. Like, you know, now that our, our, our, our water main

broke and our daughter broke her arm in two places and we have just about everything that

can go wrong, go wrong in the month of February. I was like, well, maybe we'll drive
