1. Why I watch Rachel's show nightly. She is the best.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Oh, I agree she is excellent and, as such, can attract terrific guests

Last night's show was truly exceptional, I was just disappointed that they didn't include video of her last guest - who talked about infusion of antibodies as a treatment for covid. I thought that was very important and Rachel said that too few are aware of it.
