Ladydiscipline ,

Thank you

I really like this pod cast, I just found it so I've been listening to it in the car on the way to work all week. Its nice to get a little taste of the bellydance community and get a feel for what I will be able to participate in when I get back to the states.

Brainy and Fun

This podcast is an amazing resource of information and empowerment for me. Anala Rabari is a very inteligent and knowledgeable person. Don't let her somewhat ditsy manner of speaking fool you, this woman has a top notch brain, atleast in the realm of bellydance, since I know very little about her otherwise. Also the episodes are completely entertaning and at times down right funny.

Awesome Podcast on Bellydancing!

Great podcast! It's very informative and Anala has a great personality. The news portion isn't so important to me, but I enjoy the articles and interviews. I have been introduced to lots of new music artists; as a newcomer, I really appreciate that. I have acquired (ahem) music from several of the artists she has presented. I'm listening to some of the old articles and I particularly like the one about zills. I agree with Shannon S about the voice and music being the same level. I listen at work (when I'm supposed to be working) and it have to rush to turn the music down as soon as I can or there's deafening bellydance music (not a problem at home, but at work...). Keep up the good work Anala!
