  • Loving this perspective!

    I am a huge podcast fan, always looking for a new perspective and this was exactly what I needed. I love the quotes, the inside look at the guests and the general vibe of the conversation. Oh, and best of all, DOLLY FUN FACTS, it’s wonderful to hear others love for Dolly and help pass that happiness around to all!
