Editor's Notes
My name is LannaLee Maheux and I’ve been podcasting and using WordPress since 2010. I have three podcasts, two of which I have co-hosts: the Lex and Lanna Show with my friend Alexis Lyon, and the Bureau of Awesome with my husband, Edmund Davis-Quinn. My flagship podcast is a digital intellectual salon Lounging with LannaLee, adventures in conversation, a weekly audio podcast where I have conversations with fascinating people. I work by day as a Programmer/Analyst for a Market Research firm where I make ginormouscrosstabulations and whatnot. I’m a performer, having worked as an actor, singer, balloon twister. I am an Ex-Clown and a recovering stand up comic.
