Tim Holt, Scott Floyd and I were having a bit of fun when we came up with an idea for a monthly podcast. Unfortunately, I fear we failed to consider our busy schedules and division of labor when making ambitious plans for a Texas-centric ed-tech podcast. So, the following plans were never realized.

Since I’m cleaning out my Wikispaces area, I thought I’d move the content over here for the wikispace we put together to host the podcast planning sessions and then nuke the site.
