I hope readers enjoy them as much as I have. You and I must listen to the same NPR programs. I listen as podcasts. I love Meryl Streep too. She and Terry Gross are so relaxed in this conversation. Terry has always been a good interviewer. She's becoming a great one. Wisdom. :-) These are great resources, Shirley. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I have.
