    I look forward to each episode. I feel like with my music tastes Christopher and I are related. A long time Grateful Dead head.

    I often times come up with solutions to callers questions, like adding a teaspoon of butter to the jam canning process to reduce foam. My favorites are Sara and Chris answering questions and “A Way With Words”.

    Thank you for a predictably great podcast.
