Please get Ella Markianos communications training. If I have to listen to her valley girl vocal fry each episode, I’m going to lose my mind. Her content is fine but the delivery needs to improve. If we had to to take a shot each time she says “you know” or “like” we would be dead in the first 60 seconds.
Couldn’t get enough hard fork, pleased to see that it forked.
Platformer is great. I read Casey’s writing every week and always learn a lot. The only problem is there are so many other things to read so if I can save some time listening in the car to a podcast, that’s awesome. I just listened to the interview that was posted today and it’s excellent. Thanks!
I’ve been reading platformer for a while, and when I heard they had a podcast version, I left at the chance to subscribe. Every single time I read their articles I learn something important. Highly recommend.
