    Hey friends, welcome to another episode of Ask the Podcast Coach! I’m Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting, joined by my buddy Jim Collison from Home Gadget Geeks. This week’s show was packed with tons of insights from my trip to Nashville for the NRB (National Religious Broadcasters) conference, navigating the quirks of networking, and battling a post-conference cold.
