Review on ITunes
I listen to your podcast on Stitcher, and was quite disappointed to not see the call-in from Mara (labeled as “Detailed dissection of food choice arguments – Mara from Pittsburgh”) available for re-posting. I hope you will make this available. It is maddening and enlightening, and made me re-think some of the beliefs I have and have been espousing. I’m not sure mara is right on all of her reasoning — she made me think — and re-listen to the arguments. Thanks for the food show — and especially for adding Mara’s comments. Now please make her comments available for posting.
