Homework: Question of the Month

[5:55]

At the end of the month, I like to feature a podcast with your voice in it. I ask a question, and we all learn together.

This month's question is “What is the book you refer the most?” I'd love to hear your answer. Go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/contact 

and submit your answer (put “November Question” if you email me).  I need the answer by November 23rd, 2018

Also, if you have found love via podcasting, I am working on the question of the month for February.
