I don't know if I'm just now noticing it, but i LOVE these little clips you leave sometimes at the end of your podcast. I've been a listener for a few months, but just recently discovered them! The Voices of Liberty at Christmas made me so happy! And its May! I've been getting caught up on podcasts i've missed and they add just a little bit more magic to the podcasts!

What is the website for dining reservation alerts? I don’t see it in the notes.

Regarding FP4ME.com - that site is currently closed (catching up on old episodes; it's March 5, 2018 now). You may want to update your listeners. Below is the message when going to the site.

"Thanks for visiting fp4me. Unfortunately, the site is currently closed. I'm no longer able to keep up with the costs and time required to keep it running."
