  • I look forward to the next episode

    What a great podcast! It is upbeat and I often laugh out loud. David’s laugh is infectious and he and Rachel have an easy banter that still stays on topic. The shows are tight and well-paced. The guests are well-spoken and interesting. If you are new to the series, listen to the interview with Stephanie Perry in May, 2022. You won’t be disappointed.
