The Carleena Show podcast celebrates 5.5 months today, which means it's time for another installment of BEHIND THE SCENES.

In this episode, I answer listener questions, recap episodes 5-13, share how I met each guest and what broader societal questions their episode posed. I talk about my podcasting process, and mention how a mentor from Goucher College's MFA Nonfiction program helped shape my thinking.
