I really enjoyed your interview with Christine Rose. The Podcast idea is fantastic!

I am not very fond of the daily postings. I recently was out of the country for 4 weeks and there was no way that I could find to unsubscribe while I was away from my computer. Have I overlooked the unsubscribe feature?

Thank you, Judy Martin
