Caller Compliments Janet Sides and Jim Smith

A gentleman called just a couple of minutes ago to compliment Janet Sides on her fabulous reading of Marisha Pessl's Special Topics in Calamity Physics. He also wanted to add that he was enthralled by Terri Jentz's harrowing true crime story Strange Piece of Paradise as read by Jim Smith. Kudos to Janet, Jim, and of course, all of our volunteers!
