Hello Anna Richardson here. I just thought I'd leave you a quick voice note to tell you

0:06.6

about my new advice podcast. It can't just be me.

0:12.8

I'll be getting super honest about my own topsy-turvy life, as well as helping you solve your

and Max created, it can't just be me, wherever you get your podcasts.

This is CBS Eye in the World. I'm John Batchler,

0:37.8
