The Collector's Edition with Richard Goodson

About Me:

I am the author of It's a Wonderful Blog (www.risefallriseagain.blogspot.com), which focuses on the classic Capra film It's a Wonderful Life. This podcast is a natural extension of that blog. 

Personal details:

I graduated from Bluffton College (now Bluffton University) in Ohio in 1997 with a BA in English and communication. While I was there, I wrote a 40-page paper about It's a Wonderful Life. That paper has turned into a 257-page manuscript. I am currently exploring publishing options.

I spent 12 years working for a newspaper in my hometown before I was laid off in 2009 during the recession. During this time, newspapers began to struggle as the Internet became the public's main source of information.

In 2009, I began working as an administrative assistant in a drug and alcohol prevention education program in Ohio. I have helped oversee the operation of five different grants, and I have helped to successfully write one federal grant, as well as two local grants that are renewed annually. I recently began teaching prevention education in classrooms and I am working to become an Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist.

I am the co-host of the Wood County Prevention Coalition Podcast, which can be found at https://wcprevention.wordpress.com/podcasts/

I am husband, father, writer, blogger, photographer, Web designer, Christian, and a work in progress. I am NOT perfect. I enjoy reading and I LOVE classic films. My musical taste is as eclectic as your weird Uncle Bob.

I am IAWLFAN.
