My Own Talk Show - Hosted by Michael Cusack: Recent Episodes
Michael
The "My Own Talkshow" Podcast. Season One of the @myowntalkshow Podcast due for release in July. If you could imagine Enough Rope (Andrew Denton) and Humans of New York (Brandon Stanton) wrapped up into a Podcast this would be it (hopefully). While the title of this Podcast 'My Own Talk Show' is somewhat egotistical, I can assure you the stories that we are bringing to life are anything but (well, maybe a little, but mostly not).The guests lined up for Season One come from all walks of life, have a diverse range of experiences, and all have their own stories to tell.
In this episode I take a trip down "short term" memory lane and I look back at the highlights and favourite moments of The My Own Talk Podcast - Season 1.
I am so grateful to every person that has helped make this little adventure a possibility, whether they have been a guest, for those that have provided constructive feedback, one time listeners, or an every episode listener. Without each of you, this would not be a possibility.
