Love love love! But please title your shows

Hey Hilary and crew! Ive just turned 30 this year, the year ABC turned 100. love Life Matters and have been listening to you for a couple of years now. I can see myself an avid listener til the day I die! So I’ve got a good few decades left in me. What I might suggest is that it’s hard to know where to write in while you’re on air. Is there a forum for people who can’t chime into the episode but have thoughts/questions etc when they can’t listen while on air? Thanks so much, Love what you do!
