Like the falling tree in the woods, if there’s no one around to hear a podcast, does it actually exist?
We’re now running on Spotify and iTunes and a whole bunch of other fine, fine outlets – like Amazon – but if that’s all too much, then our dear friends at Castos have The Plastic Podcasts easily available for your welcoming ears.
Just click the links below.
Transcripts are available for all episodes on request.
Email theplasticpodcasts@gmail.com or go to Contact Page to request a transcript.
And if you want another feast for your eyes, then check out our Blog page, with links, thoughts and sideways rambles galore.
