Love this good-hearted podcast

Janet Varney just seems like such a generous spirit on all her podcasts. Just heard her on Rabia and Ellyn- wonderful. I love this show as well- so many interesting people and so many great stories and insights.

I went through the rabbit hole of LOK to find this awesome podcast. Lots of great guests, fun & timely topics for today’s world.

Added bonus of hearing Korra every time I listen to this podcast 😛
