I came across your podcast a little over a year ago and have downloaded and listened to all of them. The quality has improved and I can say that I enjoy listening and look forward to each new podcast. I live in NC and have never been to Kansas, although after everything I've learned about Kansas, I think I'm gonna have to plan a trip. I also have to say that Murl has an incredible voice. LOVE IT! :-) (Not that the other fine folks on the podcast don't have nice voices- they do).
