  • Wonderful to hear the Big Book Study Live!

    Thank you Mike for hosting this podcast. I had a hard copy of the study but hearing it live is a world of difference. Next to Joe & Charlie your sites have been the best thing I have found for long flights and times during the day when I want a boost of recovery energy.
