  • Funny and engaging

    Jackie is funny and engaging. It’s great that she interviews the Rangers that she meets out in the wild. I also thought the Friends episode was great because Jackie found out that “this might be her dorkdom”. Her guest was also fun and insightful.

    I've never heard you interview comedian and TV producer and writer Bari Alyse. She plays Sasha on "Community News with Paul and Sasha" comedy podcast. She is smart, funny and down to earth and I would really love to hear you 2 in conversation. Thanks
