Life on the Illinois Prairie

Fascinating and informative. Great podcast!

I enjoy this podcast!

I listen to many podcasts, celebrities interviewing other celebrities, authors podcast and former talk radio Host’s podcast as well as talk radio, and most of them don’t let their guest talk or keep interrupting them. Wendy asks the questions and then gives her guests the time and space to answer, fills in when needed or asks a follow up question, put gives her guests ample space. 🙂
