“Sorry, Referring to the Rick Deitrick interview as “Crazy” isn’t apt. Some of us who lived through the ‘60’s recognize his path as Sanity.”

“I was really looking forward to listening to episode 325 with the author of Kalamazoo gals. Unfortunately I had to shut it off because the first 10 to 15 minutes were all about the Covid crisis and how everyone should go out and get their vaccine. Well, I respect this may be the opinion of the...”Read full review »
