United Kingdom3 years ago - More Uplifting than Coffee
They say to smile if you're performing with only your voice, as it comes through to the listeners - and Jo's sunny disposition comes straight through to my ears. She has a natural interviewing style that extracts the best from her guests and Real Folk, even those you meet in the street, all have their own stories. Let there be many more!
