so bad with cutesy inane banter I quit my subscription. The opinions are solid. Can’t do the banter. When JVL speaks seriously, especially when he interviews, great. Other than that, sorry, no.

I think I am the female version of JVL and I envy Sarah’s composure. Sarah, your new book is as amazing as this podcast. Thank you all.
