It’s truly a community of listeners

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2017 and it’s amazing when I’m listening to the Sunday call in show and recognize the voices of callers because they call in and share their experiences so often. Also, I love the ornament exchange and Christmas card exchange. When I get that card in the mail from Scott and Rikki I really feel part of the crew.
