Melissa, Perhaps you feel too busy to do this podcast and I understand that. However, I hope that you might reconsider. I am blind and absolutely love to cook! Having you describe each step in beautiful detail as you cooked wonderful dishes has been such an enlightening and helpful experience for me. I have cooked a lot as my youngest of four children is 25 and your podcast has been so helpful in upping my game with cooking. My heart felt thanks and a continued hope that someday I'll be rewarded with another season of shows. I totally agree with the others... We need more!
