  • I want to listen to this again and again

    I find this podcast to be incredibly intriguing and insightful! The topic, creativity, length and presence of the host are so enjoyable that I flew past the first three. Im even thinking of listening to it again because there is SO MUCH to take away from! Plus, each episode is a DIFFERENT topic regarding the voice. more
