  • Always hungry for more MFK!

    Thank you for this thorough snapshot of MFK’s fascinating life and the career which is wondrous to consider in hindsight. What a treat to hear Anne Zimmerman talk about this icon who bridged generations. Hoping she continues to be discovered and revered as a true pioneer.

  • The Story Exchange

    This podcast is both like hanging out with your girls over great conversation, and a mini Master Class on humanity. While women are the focus of the stories, none of them are female-exclusive topics. The Hosts are fun, smart, funny and fully engaged in their interest and interviews. #lovethispodcast
