Jabbering with Jeremy Jeremy Schmelkin

Welcome to Talking in a Tree with Terry! For those of you who do not know, some of my new college friends have given me the nickname of "Terry," (if you would like the story behind this nickname please let me know). Anyways, these (hopefully) weekly podcasts will be with four regular guests, Nate, Matt and Greg where will be discussing many fun, fascinating questions. In this Pilot episode, the four of us talked about frisbee, memorable music and the movement to Mars. Since this is the first official podcast with my co-hosts, we are still having some trouble with our chemistry, so please ignore any awkward silences - we are working on it! We are so excited to launch this new branch of podcasts, so please enjoy! Thanks for listening!
