  • The episode with Jennifer Welch— lightning in a bottle

    I just listened to this episode. I’ve never written a review before but I was compelled to put my thoughts out there on this episode. If you two don’t collaborate on a regular basis, (better yet, a show) you’re missing a huge opportunity! Jennifer is the perfect foil for Kara. You just made each other’s best instincts better.
