Media Musings. A hundred of them!
I plan to share 100 musings on the media, entertainment and broadcast industry over the next many weeks. Why? Coz I wanted to give my brain a workout and create some conversation around my favorite things to talk about - and hopefully connect (or reconnect) with some interesting people. I will also compile them in one place here for anyone who is interested. (and for me!)
