Lisa D. 2.5.21 was the most upbeat, knowledgeable with a smooth manner in her interactions with reporters👍 All tonight’s reporters held my interest with their interesting back stories.
The perfect end of the week.
This is my favorite podcast, the one I listen to every week without fail. You often learn more about the real stories behind the news, and it is great to meet the people who write the great stories you’ve been reading all week.
