Wonderful work. It's just as great for what you left out as what you left in. Lean editing. Nice music choice. Wonderful story. Congratulations on all of your hard work. It paid off and you made it sound easy in the process. And I don't have any kids or any interest in kids books. What the heck am I doing listening to this?;) Hey you two.

Wonderful work.

Although I found the idea for your show to be very interesting and felt you were doing a great service, since I am no longer involved with younger children and never listen to podcasts, I did not think I would ever listen in. Well - tomorrow the alumni website for high school shuts down ane I went on it to jot down a few things I wanted to follow up. One of these was to contact the mother of a late friend of mine from 5th grade. So, I went surfing on the web for "My Horse My Passion" and here I am. The interview with Mrs. Willis was delightful to hear. Would it be possible to contact her? Or at the very least, could you forward a communication to her from me? Kenra taught me to ride and draw horses. I can still do a recognizable impression of dobin on paper, but regrefully, any skills I had in the saddle have probably been long forgotten. However, I will never forget my wonderful times on horsebakc and my wonderful and talented friend. Kenra.
