Leslie Morrell posted in the shownotes: "Lovely program, thank you! Busy running around with morning chores with the music playing in the background but it's so nice. I think I want to really sit with it and enjoy it rather than just having it play in the background! Thanks for making all this great music available freely. Great way to find new artists and to enjoy the vast array of musicians out there<3"

Ann Peck McBride, Radio DJ at KMUZ 88.5 FM posted in the shownotes: "I love this collection of music, and I'm really enjoying that so much of it is from the Pacific Northwest!"
