Informative and detailed

Ross I’ve really enjoyed this pod. I wish you wouldn’t have stopped but I’m sure you have lots of other avenues and adventures to go forth into! I’ve always wanted to have my own morning radio show so I could talk about everything under the sun, laugh with my cohosts and even talk some smack. I’m ready for the challenge of a podcast! Thanks for all the insight and good tips! I’ll update you when I get it going! Thanks, Faith
