Podcamp Boston – Initial Thoughts on #pcb5
It’s going to take a little while before I can digest all the rich information and conversations I absorbed during my first experience at a Podcamp event. I will, however, share some quick thoughts about what I noticed and what I’m intrigued with after today’s experience.

Whatever it may be, I’m a sucker for these throwback/vintage/classic R&B artists who seem to be coming out of the woodwork these days. It might’ve started with the success of Amy Winehouse, leading to Duffy – and even possibly Adele.
