I'm preparing to produce the seventh episode of The Tracy-Hepburn Podcast. It will be posted on September 1st. But as I work on this and future shows, I need your help to make this program better, and more valuable to current and future subscribers.

The plain fact is that THP has been losing subscribers at a significant rate. Ordinarily, I wouldn't feel compelled to share this information with you, but I sincerely believe that this program is getting better, not worse, and I'm very curious to know why folks have decided to leave it. So what I'm asking is that you share your honest opinions of the program with me, and that you tell me what features or other content you as a Tracy and Hepburn fan would find valuable. Please leave a comment here, or send e-mail to tracyhepburnpodcast at gmail dot com. I will consider all feedback and will report back to you during future shows.

Finally, if you are enjoying the show, please let me know that too (not for my ego's sake, but to help me plan shows that include the content you find most interesting). I also hope that you will consider telling any Tracy-Hepburn fans you know about the show.

Thanks,
Shelly
