Podcast Updates: We’ve decided to provide a little thematic focus to the podcast going forward.  Here’s what we’re thinking:  Our podcast will be about blogging and writing.  So, if you’re a blogger or writer, we invite you to discuss your craft and the challenges involved in starting and growing a blog or website.  

We are currently recording new episodes.  If you’d like to participate, reach out. 

Step 9 is a radio drama in podcast form about family and fortitude. As one reviewer summed it up, “‘Step 9’ from the brilliant troupe at @NormalRep has put out a compelling, polished, brilliant play whose story pulled me in fast and whose characters live in my heart.”

A fantastic cast and great production. A must listen. Search New Normal Rep Step 9 wherever you podcast or go to https://tinyurl.com/step-9-NNR
