Champs Not Chumps is an audiopodcast featuring interviews with people who are pursuing creative, social, or intellectual projects. So far, we’ve done episodes on alternative comics, flash fiction, accessable farming, teaching meditation to kids, you name it. We wanted our listeners to be able to engage with the show beyond just listening to the episodes, and Drupal provided us with an open source platform to feed the podcast and provide a web presence for the show.
