Great podcast. Good to hear Jillian.
ReplyDeleteWill Mala be back in the future? She was also great.
Roger and Damon: Congrats on your latest in a string of interesting choices to fill the third chair in your podcasts. We Love Soaps and Daytime Confidential may cover the same "beat", but there are unique aspects to each, and having Jillian on highlighted the best of what each of you do IMO.
ReplyDeleteNice touch with the intro music. I was LOL when I heard the DC theme blend into the WLS music.
Kudos again for an entertaining show.
