Unabridged: Meet The Stacks Team
Ever wondered who else brings The Stacks to life? Well, lucky for you, you’re about to meet them. For the first time ever, I bring you behind the scenes to introduce you to the team that helps make this podcast happen. Join me as I chat with Sahara Clement, Cherie Marquez, and Christian Dueñas about who they are, what they do, the biggest surprises and hardest parts of their jobs, and the things I do that annoy them. This podcast wouldn’t be what it is without their hard work, and you can support that by joining The Stacks Pack on Patreon and subscribing to our Substack.
