Thank you, Melissa!

This might be my favorite dog podcast. I have such a HUGE appreciation for the host, Melissa! She does such a fantastic job interviewing guests without interrupting or making the show about her. I find it extremely distracting when other popular hosts constantly interrupt their guests to turn the focus back to themselves instead of letting the guest speak.
The content is fantastic, I appreciate the lack of endless ads and I truly get something out of each episode. Thank you, Fenzi!
