    Host Sandy Adomaitis keeps the interviews moving along and one shares her obvious enjoyment in the post-interview games with her guests.

  • Learned A Lot!

    Even though I’ve been “in the business “ for years in different areas, I leaned from the writers interviewed. Definitely going to read a scene from the middle first next time. It’s a good test. Can’t wait to hear future interviews.
