Episode 10 - July 12 through July 25
The Sandwich Weekly Podcast Episode 10. Activities and events from Friday July 12 through Thursday July 25 Hello again and welcome to the Sandwich Weekly Podcast. This is Episode 10, covering activities and events in and around Sandwich for the period Friday July 12 through Thursday July 25. There are many activities and events in the Sandwich Weekly Podcast and I’m always looking for new ways to make it easier for you to find what you’re interested in. If you’re using a podcast player that supports chapter markers such as, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or the Apple Podcast app, you can skip directly to any day in the audio file. This, unfortunately, isn’t a feature that’s available on the podcasts web page. On the podcast web page you can scroll down the show notes to look for particular days of activities. You can also use the standard search keys (ctrl-f on pc or cmd-f on Mac) to enter your search terms. This week I introduced a new feature that will, hopefully, make the show notes easier to navigate. At the top of the show notes there are shortcuts to go directly to a particular day in the notes. This way you won’t need to scroll down the list to find the day in which you are interested. Here’s the schedule of activities and events for the next two weeks… Friday July 12 Saturday July 13 Sunday July14 Monday July 15 Tuesday July 16 Wednesday July 17 Thursday July 18 Friday July 19 Saturday July 20 Monday July 22 Tuesday July 23 Wednesday July 24 Thursday July 25 Friday July 12 Computer Class – Computer Basics - 10:30 – noon, Friday at the Sandwich Public Library.
