  • Hi.

    OMGOSH, Bonnie Rait!!!!! I’ve listened to your Bonnie podcast at least 3 times. She is my hero! Now I love YOU even more because you did such a great job interviewing her. Whew. What a wonderful, talented, true human being of a person she is. I almost felt like I was in the room with one of my hero’s. Doesn’t she just rock your world! Oh, silly me, clearly she does. Thank you again. Petra

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

  • Good concept, bad execution

    I was really excited when I heard about this show, it’s exactly the kind of thing I’d love to listen to - advice from women who have so much wisdom! Why then, are all of the episodes I’ve listened to dominated by discussions of their children and husbands? I find that the host asks questions about things the guest has already spoken about in other forums and fails to get anywhere near the profound.
