Hi gang — Jim is off today, but we wanted to highlight one of our favorite episodes when Rosie O’Donnell joined us from Dublin to discuss her new Hulu documentary, “Unleashing Hope: The Power of Service Dogs for Children with Autism.”
If you haven’t seen the episode, or the documentary, both are certainly worth a watch.
Jim will be back tomorrow with a live program, but for now we hope you enjoy this episode.
