Julia Catoe ,

Loving your MOD podcast!

I only found your podcast a couple episodes ago, and I had to leave y’all a review. I’m loving listening to you, Beth and Leslie! Meadows of Dan has always been an interesting place to me, and you ladies talk about it in a way that makes me feel like I’m listening to old friends. I live in Critz and love Patrick county. The sound quality on this current podcast is so much clearer. Keep up the great work!
