I Love this Podcast so much!!!!!

I have been a fan of Kelly Swanson for some time now. I checked out this podcast…. It doesn’t disappoint! Kelly is clever and funny and smart, and this town she invented — you’re just gonna have to give it a listen — makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Great work. I’m a huge fan.
