January 16th, 2011 to January 22nd, 2011Every week we have listeners from various parts of the world listening to the show via the Mediaontap Network. This week we had people from across Canada and the United States, as well as Moscow, Russia, Auckland, New Zealand, plus Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, Jundiai in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Anoual in Nador, Morocco, as well as the Czech Republic. Add to that the number of listeners via the Broadcast Partners Network in Singapore, Scotland, Sweden, England, United States and Canada, and you truly have a worldwide show. How fantastic!
My sincere condolences go out to long time listener and friend Tim Sykes in Cambridge, Ontario on the passing of his father. We were sorry to hear the news of your loss Tim. Our thoughts are with you and Jill.
