A great niche podcast for the event industry!

Laura has done a wonderful job of putting together a fantastically themes podcast that event planners can really benefit from. It has a ton of information, and I found it very entertaining! Having been in the event industry for a few decades, a show like Party Planning Radio is so needed. Wonderful!
