Welcome everyone to the After the Blog podcast! You're probably familiar with TV shows like the Curse of Oak Island or Deadliest Catch that have "digging deeper" or "after the catch" episodes that take the audience into the efforts behind each episode to give extra nuggets of clarity.

But don't be surprised if a guest or two show up because they helped influence the topic. Let's have fun and learn something! rodtrent.substack.com
