I’ve been listening to Ear shot forever and I can’t believe I won’t hear new episodes any longer! You have given me so much knowledge that I didn’t know I needed it to live better, so many vivid experiences from such a diversity of peoples and lives that have warmed my heart, gave me solace in my lows and rejoiced me all the time! For all it can do, I would beg you didn’t stop producing these incredibly wonderful episodes. But to all who have worked on this programs over all these years, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you all the very best in your future endeavors.
Love the stories but …
