Mixed emotion fills The Share Chair studio as we welcome Adriana Zamarron not only to the podcast, but to the role of student producer. The old adage would suggest that, as a new door opens for Adriana, one closes as well. Sadly, for us it means that our beloved David Theune will be leaving the podcast for good, and is joining us for one last interview over his last seven years of dedication to this wonderful podcast. To meet Adriana and give a final goodbye to Theune, check out this latest episode, and stick around for more from The Share Chair Podcast.
