Jerry Morrissey ,

Top Notch Program - we are blessed to have it!!

It is inspiring to listen to and receive an unbiased dialogue between Willy and the amazing guests he has on the WD podcasts. What a gift and reprieve from the majority of news and educational programs that are spewing propaganda and narratives driven by their or their bosses/owners agenda.
