Re: Internet Talk Radio Show for Breast Cancer Patients

Hi Ann,

I'm listening to you right now. Took me a few frustrating clicks to realize I had to download the episode rather than listen to it on the site, but really, it should've been a no-brainer (and I'm embarrassed, but I thought I'd mention it just in case I'm not the only one).

The reason I'm posting, though, is that I want to suggest Google Voice as an alternative for those without a free calling plan. Calls can be made straight from Gmail. Within the US, calling is free, and international calls are pretty reasonable. Info here:

Good luck with the project. (Also, if you could provide some helpful hints on how to use the Amazon link, I will order through you in the future. I understand the search part, but what happens if I move around the site before I put something into my cart?)
