Director Zac Pelicano is here with the first episode of Director's Desk, Fireside Radio's most podcast-y podcast. Director's Desk is a short 10-15 minute show where Zac and the other members of Fireside Radio can interact directly with the audience. In this first episode, Zac talks about where Fireside is currently in its development, some general social media housekeeping and what's coming up for Christmas. Director's Desk episodes will be infrequent, semi-unscheduled and pretty loosey-goosey. It's the "take as needed" of podcasts. We were honestly going to call them Fireside Chats, but it seemed cheesy and who wants to tempt the ghost of FDR like that? Seems like asking for trouble. Stay tuned for more Fireside Radio Theatre!
