TESTIMONIALS
What a difference you've made in my career. We did it again! My David Rothenberg Any Saturday Show interview on WBAI, on July 14, went wonderfully. I was interviewed live for 30 minutes, and while on the air, David invited me to return to his program to discuss my work in the future. I'd love to do more interviews. With great thanks and best wishes.
