  • Excellent delivery and insight

    I appreciate Jenny’s soothing voice and experienced insight. Several years ago I filled out a survey from SXM about favorite hosts. I thought I had the name right but inadvertently given another female host’s name as having such a superb way about her. 🙄 Nonetheless ... I am glad to have this podcast available to hear more from her.
