Bandwidth
with Amanda Putz

As of the week of January 23rd I am off for a year on maternity leave. For those of you that feel I just got back from one and am leaving again...I feel your pain! My son Elliott will be only 17 months older than his "brister." (We don't know if it's a bro or a sis.) Either way, when I am back on the airwaves I plan on sticking around for the next 30 years.

So, your next four episodes of Bandwidth are what we euphemistically call "encore presentations" or "greatest hits." There are a few changes, but more or less you can rely on these blog links to enlighten you as to what was or will be on each show. Have a great 2012 and I'll see you next year, on the radio!
