Brains, Beauty, Talent and Wit!!!

As a long time listener of Dani, I’m so glad she is back doing what she does best. Her perspective is so well rounded, she never pushes an agenda and always looks for the root of the story. Her charm, humour and tone of voice make listening such a breeze!! Dani is a true Torontonian and I can’t wait to hear what she brings us week over week!! Cheers Dani, and great job AM640 for recognizing this solid talent!

Indies Always ,

Great for Torontonians!

I moved to Toronto from the U.S. and I was looking for a podcast that was positive and informative. Dani should run for mayor
