NEW!
Drive-Time Podcasts!
We realize some folks have to drive quite a distance to get to our programming location. We're honored that you are willing to make the effort and want to see if we can make that time more valuable for you. So, we are introducing a new offering--podcasts that you can listen to on your way to and from Encore NEO (or any other time for that matter).
All you have to do is click on the recommended link below to get to the podcast. You can then copy the URL and email it to your mobile device to listen to it from your phone while you drive. You can also just subscribe to those two podcasts on your phone.
If you have bluetooth in your car, you're set to go. If not, you may want to get a
portable speaker to put in your car. If you're stumped and can't get it all to work, let us know and we'll help you through it. (
Please, please, please don't fiddle with this stuff while you are driving. Get it going before you get going!)
This week's recommended podcast is from How I Built This with Guy Raz...
"In 1986 - after failing at a number of business ideas--Murrell opened a tiny burger joint in Northern Virginia with his four sons."
Enjoy, learn, be amazed, and be inspired!
HAPPENING NOW! You can still join in!
