Wealth of experts

I love listening to this podcast about all sorts of interesting topics on my drive into work. CLC has a wealth of experts and it’s great to see they’re here in Lake County, Illinois.

Short, sweet and always interesting.

Jessey is a personable host who grants us access to some great college characters. They’re the kind of people you would like to meet, but never have the chance. Jessey does her homework and asks some insightful questions of her guests. I always learn something during these short episodes and I appreciate the diversity of the guests she has.

Not Jessey's mom ,

Bravo!!! Can’t wait to hear more!!!!
