Description
Happy New Year! I'm posting the sixth and final episode of Season 5 today, New Year's Day 2026. My New Year's resolution this year is to get back on track with my podcasting. That may entail cutting back on my exercise regiment, taking Saturdays off from exercise and using that time to record. I'm not sure how I'll fare without the streak counter to motivate me beyond six consecutive days, but we'll find out!
This month on the podcast I discuss the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania's PALS program. I describe what it is and why I'm interested in joining. I read the Society's privacy policy from the FAQ section of its web site. Lastly, I describe the documents I've included in the initial draft of my PALS application—and there are a lot!
Clocking in at over 51 minutes, this is my longest podcast to date. There is a lot of reading and a lot of rambling, but there is a lot of good information here that I've been waiting a long time to get down on audio. Try your best to enjoy the Season 6 finale, and let's look forward to a more consisted Season 7 here on Genealogy By Tim!
