Cycling and Podcasts
As I began my cycling across the country, and nope, not on an e-bike,I would like to say how much I enjoy listening to you and your varied guests.Our country’s landscape is quite beautiful but there are some really,really I mean really hot,boring and barren parts to to cycle thru. Your voices and content have helped me through those
miles. As a long time listener don’t quit on me; I have a few more months of cycling!
P.S. Yes, I can “be bribed ” with an ice cream/coffee if April does not want it😆Thank you, Michele Reichardt CA
Shorts - love it
I’m finding that I love the shorts format.
I also love the in depth author interviews.
. . . Love it all
Yay!
I love the new format! I also love greater coverage of really good fiction that I may have missed. Please continue. I’m what is euphemistically called a “mature reader” (74 glorious years of age). I am right at home with your podcast.
