No problem with the audio on my smartphone using podkicker (for what its worth).
A pleasant show. Nicole's discussion of her journey as she began smoking a pipe is classic stuff. She was fortunate to have someone to help all the way through the learning. I see so many people buy a pipe and then quit just because 1) they have no one to show them how to load, tamp, light, and smoke a pipe and 2) they just don't have the patience for it. I am amazed that Nicole has been smoking for a year and PAD hasn't set in.
The music was a little odd a first but as you listened to it you began to really enjoy it. We have had a number of selections from the rural blues performers. We need to try something of a more Appalachian flavor. Patty Loveless's "Christmas at my House", or Bill Monroe's "Christmas Time's a Coming", or the Stanley Brothers "O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem".
