Hi again Mary, Riley was an incredible guest today with so much information to share and I love the much-needed links you have posted!
This is also a boisterous “shout-out” to Ron – he has a very smooth voice for radio and a fantastic ability for initiating and steering the conversation. He adds his insight to each topic which is also valuable to the content. I understand the editing is a lot of work but it appears seamless to the listener. Great job Ron & thanks! 🙂
Thank you so much for your comments, Janie, we really appreciate them! We hope to have more amazing and informative guests on our show! And thank you so much for supporting our podcast!
