Laura Sprinkle and I have some history.

We’ve worked together, ALMOST worked together again, ALMOST worked together a SECOND TIME…then worked together briefly…
…and perpetually WANT to work together.

But recently we caught up and recorded our convo for her podcast: the Laura Sprinkle Show wherein we get dishy!

She’s so much fun to talk to and such a gracious interview host.
