Great Show

Met you at Podfest and this is my first listen of your podcast and immensely enjoy your content! Great work Danielle, Marsh Naidoo

Kaopac ,

ItineRARIES

The word is Itine-RARY and this woman keeps pronouncing the word "Itinney-Ary" completely dropping the second R in the word. I don't know if she just doesn't realize that there are 2 letter R's in the word or not. But I could not listen to her podcast after the first 2 minutes, or the itinney-ary.

About That Wallet ,

What more can I say?

Danielle, your voice is easy to listen to and your stories leave me wanting more! Keep up the great work!
