FAQ:

Fall/Winter 2021 has been the soft launch of Pine Curtain Confidential, a time to work on the format, content and schedule while testing the concept. Thanks for your patience! I write, produce, edit and distribute it myself, so it takes some time to deliver. Beginning in 2022, I plan to publish episodes from April-June and again from September – early December.

Currently, the East Texas podcast Pine Curtain Confidential is not broadcast in an interview format, so I can’t accept guest solicitations. Keeping it simple for now! If that changes, I’ll announce future guest opportunities here on my Web site or in the newsletter.

Identifying information in episodes will be changed unless it has appeared in public, verifiable record. References to people, conversations and situations in modern times (post-1980) should be considered a composite, alias or other semi-fictional entity unless I have obtained specific permission to share otherwise.
