I just listened to my first episode. The one with Michael Ornelas and “Fine” Dining. The content was fine, but I couldn’t get past the female hostess, Amber, giggling all the time. So annoying! She giggles after asking every question. I am not exaggerating. I got the impression she may have even been flirting with the guest. So inappropriate, especially if she wants to be taken seriously as a podcaster. I am going to listen to one more episode before giving up on her.

Her candor is uplifting and there is often lightheartedness and humour added in. Additionally, it has really made me feel like I am not alone in this disease. I have a JPouch and don’t actually know anyone like me, let alone many people online. Thank you for your patient advocacy and your involvemen... more
