Those are exactly the kinds of comments I wish we received every week! It's hard to know how you're doing while on the air.
Thanks for sending them, Danielle. I only heard a little bit of the program, and it sounded really interesting. I wish I could have heard the whole thing. Can it be put up on the web somewhere?
