Annual Community Episode: It’s Your Turn to Be on the Podcast

The end of 2017 is drawing near and I’m excited to be producing the second annual While She Naps podcast Community Episode! Tune in to last year’s here.

Listeners to the podcast know that at the very end of every episode I ask my guest to recommend great stuff they’re enjoying right now. I’ve found fantastic books, magazines, websites, tools, apps, and all kinds of other things through my guests’ recommendations. In the Community Episode I’m inviting you, the listeners to the show, to call in and recommend your favorite things.

Take a minute to think of something you’d recommend to a creative friend. It could be:

• a book
• a magazine
• a website
• an app
• a special tool like a paintbrush or a crochet hook, etc.
• a pattern
• a newsletter
• a podcast or audio book
• a class, retreat, or conference

It doesn’t have to be new. It just has to be something you truly enjoy and would recommend that other creative people check out. Please choose 1-2 things and refrain from promoting your own products or services. I’m afraid I won’t be able to use your clip otherwise.

Got something? Yay!

Now tell me about it!

Start by saying:

• Your first and last name and where you’re from.
• The name of  your website (if you have one).
• What you’re recommending and why. Be sure to tell us how we can get it.

The recording is can be up to 2 minutes in total, or you it can be shorter. If you mess up you’ll be able to hit reset and start over so don’t worry! When you’re ready, hit send and it will land in my inbox.

A few tips for making things sound good – try plugging in some headphones while you record and be sure you’re in a quiet room.
