Monday, Oct 11 – Episode 29.01 P is for Photography
With co-host David Greenwood-Haigh.
To filter or not to filter?
Before I got into chocolate, I had a successful career in high-tech: computer graphics, interactive multimedia, high definition video production, and Internet development. But before that, my career interest was photography. How do I use photography today? Are there similar creative challenges? What do I take from my art school education? What does everyone think about the Instagram promo images?
The audio for today is horribly mangled – not technically but continuity-wise because I was bounced from the room in the middle of the hour. I will work on it and I hope to get something usable. I will post when I can.

Tuesday, Oct 12 – Episode 29.02 P is for Pollinators
Friday, Oct 15 – Episode 29.05 Thank Chocolate, It’s Friday!
Friday‘s Room topic created by co-host David Greenwood-Haigh. The week’s rooms in review, stuff found in our news feeds, and ideas for future room topics.
Given my recent experience in Nigeria, I think the formation of a price-fixing cartel managed in producing countries is a bad idea for everyone – especially farmers.
