Home Work Podcast: Recent Episodes
Harry Marks, Dave Caolo
A weekly advice podcast for people who work from home, whether freelancer or telecommuter. We address listener-submitted questions, comments and concerns about all aspects of working from home.
Things are changing here at the show. If you'd like to reach out, feel free to email us at heyhomeworkpodcast@gmail.com, or catch up with us on twitter at @homeworkpodcast.
Harry and Dave walk through all the apps they use to get work done on their phones and how many of them work together to create efficiencies when they're not at their desks.
Patrons: stick around afterward for a late, but lively discussion about what the hosts were hoping to hear about during today's Apple announcement.
Weekly episodes will now feature bonus content only for patrons as added incentive to subscribe. If there's a topic you want to hear discussed, let us know!
