Good beginnings
I think once Christy gets a few more of these under her belt they will be fantastic. I know my first episodes sucked compared to this show. Keep going, keep creating.
Love these interviews!
I love the style of Christy’s interviews and find her take refreshing! I’m super excited to find her and this podcast.
Great job
Make sure to chage that song. I don't like it
But the real food of the episode excellent
