This is like the frequent, semi-committed, YouTuber who starts every video with, “It’s been awhile since I posted, let me catch you up…” Although, truth is, I haven’t been on hiatus or gone… I’ve been right here. Well, sometimes I’ve been over there. But, rest-assured, I’ve been somewhere and plan to be somewhere for as […]

Who is allowed in the conversation? The other day I was live-streaming on Facebook – doing one of my intermittent, “S is for Song” streams.

A not podcast Let’s call this a podcast. Episode #1 of Matt’s Unremarkable Dreams. It’s likely a launch and farewell episode.
