Rest Easy

You make me laugh so much on the podcast with you and Emma. Forever in our hearts.

Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name.

I absolutely love hearing about people’s stories and their experiences! Dan is great at getting a conversation started and keeping it going while allowing his guest to take the conversation in the direction they would like to take it. I love that the conversation is very organic feeling! Even though the first episode is about The Troubles from the perspective of someone roughly my age, it reminds me of being a child and listening to my grandparents tell me about their younger years. (That’s meant as a compliment because I loved hearing about my grandmother growing up in Mexico ca. Mid 1930’s-60’s ) I cant wait for more episodes!
