For show notes to be added? I’m not going to listen until I know what a podcast is about and sometimes the info isn’t added for a week. This is the only podcast that does that.

Good information and great guests I keep wanting and trying to listen, but frankly, the host talks so much that the guests barely get a chance to answer before host is interrupts with her own knowledge.
