Have you watched Mrs. America yet during the pandemic? Why am I struggling to press 'play?'

The Melissa Etheridge Cruise was my first cruise ever; and since Coronavirus hit, I"m never going on one again. On this episode, we meet my first CRUISE FRIENDS Maureen and Leanne and to top it off; I interview PAULA COLE! You know her famous songs, "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait," but did you know she self-produced that entire album and won Best New Artist in 1998? Also, I grew my armpit hair out just for her. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abby-holland/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/abby-holland/support
