I'm new to this, so comments are much appreciated. Am I talking too loudly? Too softly? Too quickly? Just let me know, and I'll try to correct it on future podcasts.

Podcast #1: Estate Planning and Disability Issues and the Schiavo Case
I'm not a big fan of technology for technology's sake, but I recently was persuaded that a podcast might be something worth trying, to enable me to share information in a different way. So, I spoke with Ellen Sugrue Hyman (a Lansing, Michigan-based estate planning and disability law attorney) via telephone, edited the conversation using Audacity, and have posted the results below -- just click on the "podcast" icon (if the icon doesn't appear below because of your browser settings, you can get to the podcast by clicking here). The topic is "Estate Planning and Disability Issues and the Schiavo Case."
PROGRAM NOTES
As I stated in the intro to the podcast, Ellen works for The Arc Michigan. Ellen can be reached by phone at (517) 347-4066 or by e-mail here.
The music heard at the beginning and end of the program is "felo de se," by Chemical Honey.
I'd like to thank Ellen for taking the time to participate, and I also want to thank Conference Calls Unlimited -- I couldn't have handled the technical aspects of this endeavor without them.
I'd greatly appreciate feedback on the podcast, especially whether you found it to be helpful or worthwhile, so I can decide whether to do more of them in the future.
