Special Movie Review Episode!
Okay, it’s not REALLY a special episode. Helen and I went to see New Moon yesterday. It’s my family tradition (if it happens more than twice, it’s a tradition, right?) to podcast movie reviews immediately following a movie. So the Tech Chicks did a movie review podcast. Enjoy the little diversion. :)
0066 TCT – The one where the audio REALLY buzzes. :(
First, an apology. The audio on this podcast is horrible. We know. But we didn’t have time to re-record right then. We did the best we could to remove the noise but… well… at least the content is okay, right?

MTV’s A Thin Line campaign was developed to empower you to identify, respond to, and stop the spread of digital abuse in your life and amongst your peers. The campaign is built on the understanding that there’s a “thin line” between what may begin as a harmless joke and something that could end up having a serious impact on you or someone else.
