THE LAST EPISODE with Ben Philippe

[https://www.brockshelley.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/255-300x300.png]After 4 and a half years, I’ve made the decision to bring this podcast to an end. On the last episode, author Ben Philippe makes his 4th visit to the podcast to turn the tables and interview me, Brock, as we look back over the life of the podcast and what the future holds. Thank you all, listeners, authors, publicists, and everyone who supported this podcast over the years. This has been a valuable experience and you all helped make it so.
