Stunning
My only question is can they keep this up. I laughed, I cried, I hollered, I whooped. Listen when I tell you - this is the best podcast on iTunes. Bar none.
Keeping it real
Finally something new and fresh from NPR! I am looking forward to hearing more from you guys. Keep up the good work!!
Loved these stories!
Not only are the stories interesting, but Glynn has such a way of interacting with the people he interviews. He asks the questions you want to ask, the way you would want to ask them.
