The Restaurant Of Mistaken Orders
Om denne podcast
Let’s talk. Let’s talk about hope. Let’s talk about inspiration. Let’s talk about being happy, even if it’s only for 30 minutes. My goal for this show is for it to be a place to get away from the division and the anger in the world for a while. Relax, grab a coffee or a wine or your beverage of choice and just relax for a while. Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
