Jean is in Florida, Laura is in Beautiful Ohio! Jean is floating around the Lazy River and Laura is a Busy Bee. How can we possibly record a podcast? Well, we came up with a pretty clever idea...We each made our own recording! Laura recorded the first 10 minutes of the podcast. Jean recorded the second 10 minutes! We gave each other questions to answer- other than that, we could record whatever we wanted. We sent our individual recordings to Pat the Producer so she could put it all together into one fabulous podcast!Fun! We are going to be listening to Eppy 105 just like everyone else! We can't wait to hear what we each came up with!Let us know what you think about our creative format!We would love to hear from you on Twitter and Instagram-@OK_BoomerPod.
