  • More length, less ads

    I started listening to this podcast after hearing Patty talk about it on the Elvis Duran Morning Show, as I really enjoyed the concept and was intrigued to learn more. While the narration is great and the stories are interesting, I really wish the topics were a bit more broad. Sometimes I feel they are a bit too narrowed and the episodes are too short. If the topics were slightly more general, I think they could easily span 20 minutes. more
