Announcement! - The Wally Opus Podcast
I've decided to lay to rest the theme/brand/name, "Mining In The Foothills", and have renamed the podcast, The Wally Opus Podcast. Nothing about the show's format will change; only the name. I'll continue interviewing Doers (artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, badass folks) from around the Midwest with hopes of inspiring you or entertaining you or perhaps teaching you something about something cool. Please share the show with others who think will enjoy it and thank you so much for choosing to listen. - Wes From Wally Opus Follow the Show: https://www.instagram.com/wopodcast/
