If you're looking for some professional development now that summer is over, check out the CFG's library of webinars. The latest one, on podcasting, was recently uploaded for streaming.

CFG member and avid podcaster Shauna Rae hosted the webinar back in July. It included a lively Q&A session with Fawnda Mithrush, the program manager of the Alberta Podcast Network and a longtime podcaster.
