  • Conversations about everything!

    Janet Michael does a great job keeping her topics specific to the Valley, while having a seemingly endless variety at the same time. Her conversations with guests are very fun and informative. She often asks questions that had just come into my own mind while listening. I find myself scheduling lunch so I can catch her radio show, and it’s great to have the podcast available when I miss one.
