“Just finished listening to the interview w/Kristin Ohlson. Excellent! I found it to be a really well balanced interview which contained a nice mixture of Kristin's own religious background & struggle, the history of the Poor Clares, interesting tidbits about the community, and some of the issues the community is faced with today. Your questions hit all bases. Thanks for such an informative piece of reporting! I just may go out and buy a few more copies of the book to give as Christmas presents! Also, I think I may try to pick a few more subjects from your archives and listen to the interviews. I'm glad to be introduced to your show!”

          - Leslie from Bethesda, Maryland

“Hi Mimi and company. Thank you for doing a show about the Sudan. As you know, many in the south Sudan are concerned about being wiped out by the north. The struggle between Christians and Muslims will unfortunately continue.”

"In talking recently on radio and television programs about (my book), I found many knowledgeable and engaging interviewers.
