  • Great!

    I just finished listening to the episode on the Holland Lake Lodge. I found it incredibly informative: very balanced, non-nuanced, non-political or personally biased- basically just a straight reporting of the news and facts. Very refreshing in this day and age. What a great podcast - you do such a great job. Thank you!
