“I've listened to just about every interview Patricia Ward Kelly has given about her late husband and this one is the best. Shannon's questions are well-researched and interesting, and prompt Patricia to share new insights and information about Gene. And, as always, Patricia is...”Read full review »

“Thank you for taking the opportunity to share added insight into the admiration and friendship between these two men. So much to be thankful for number 42. I like to think that baseball can bring out the best. Also, a reminder of the almost lost art of the handwritten thank you note.”

“The interviews are so interesting. Shannon knows how to keep the conversation flow, but she lets her guests talk! Wish more podcast hosts did this. I thoroughly enjoyed the Otto Preminger interview. So much so that I bought the book! Just a fantastic podcast to listen to.”
