It was delightful to meet listeners at #ACTFL25! We'll have a semester wrap up episode next week that doesn't touch on ACTFL (we had to record it early, holidays, ya know), and then we'll be looking forward to new episodes in the new year.
What topics would you like to learn more about and discuss?

This week’s episode is a wrap up of the book study we just completed - with special guest @stacywitkowski.bsky.social ! Take a listen on your way to #ACTFL25…!
