  • My Lunch Buddies

    I always look forward to Studio 2 (and their Instagram Lives just before the radio broadcast). Avi and Cherri are like my lunch buddies; they make me smile so much. And I appreciate their authenticity, and their thoughtfulness, in both their questions and their conversations.

    No matter what the topic is, I enjoy this show so much. I learn, I think, and, most of all, I feel like I'm in good company.
