  • Sara please don’t cut people off

    I love Sara and both of her podcasts. The content is light, fun, easy to listen to and is a great outlet from the daily grind. My only plea to Sara is to please not cut off guests just because you’ve reached your 45 minute podcast time goal.

I respect timelines and hard stops in many cases, but it is a disservice to Sara, her guests and her listener... more
