Ignite Phoenix has a podcast?

Why, hello there! Yes, indeed there is a podcast for Ignite Phoenix, but you'd never know it from looking at *this* page, eh?

June.... wow that was a long time ago. Unfortunately because of school summer break, visiting family, school beginning again (which brings about my Girl Scout leader duties), and a really nasty cold, I can't believe June was nearly 4 months ago. I hope you will all forgive me!

So, I am dusting off the blog page, contacting presenters, and we should be back up and on our feet in no time! I'm excited to talk with presenters again, and bring you a little more insight to their 5 minute presentations. We have a great and very social community here in the valley, and I'm so happy to be a part of it!

And I'm happy you want to be a part of it too! We'll see you soon with a new episode!

Episode 4: Daniel Messer

In this episode we chat with historian and cool dude Daniel Messer, who presented at not one but TWO Ignite Phoenix nights! Both of his presentations are embedded below.

Background ambiance provided by The Coffee Shop in Gilbert (it's more annoying in the beginning, give it a few minutes, especially after the blender whirring!)
