The Content Content podcast returns where it started with Sharon Burton. We discuss what we’ve been up to in the 11 years since our first episode, her new book Women in Technical Communication, and pay the cat tax.
Sharon was the very first Content Content guest in 2015. She’s a content strategist, technical writing professor at the University of California Riverside, and editor of the book Women in Technical Communication: From typewriters to touchscreens, a history by the women who did the work.
