Y U No Have New MetaReality?

Posted on August 24, 2012 by Kim/Gianna

There is no new episode of the MetaReality Podcast this week.  We have been fighting to work around ongoing issues with illness, family matters, extensive projects, summer vacation schedules, etc.  The process of recording, editing, and posting the podcast takes over 4 hours each Thursday, not including time spent planning the agenda, booking guests, etc.   In order to ensure that we are bringing you the best possible show each week, I have decided to take a break from recording the podcast during this busy time.  I am fully committed to continuing the podcast.   We will return with a brand new episode on Friday September 14th, 2012.  Until then, please take the opportunity to visit our amazing sponsors Botgirl’s Identity Circus and Pretty Feet!
