  • Love this show!

    Simone does such a great job of asking questions that get down to real stuff not just superficial conversation. I find myself being drawn in even when I think I won’t be interested in the subject matter or the guest.

  • Excellent Topics, but the pep is gone

    I certainly admire Simone Boyce, she

    Is an excellent journalist. However, since losing Danielle in the show, there is no pep in the voices or pizzazz in the show. They would bounce back and forth with a vibrant conversation that lit up the show. The content is there, but the uplifting experience or atmosphere is gone. I will continue to listen, but I really miss the bright side of the morning.
