Dear Travis,

Thank you for a fantastic interview!  I've never been so sorry to see an hour come to an end, and I know our listeners enjoyed "meeting" the Grumpuss!

That title, "America's Greatest Living Storyteller" may just be an understatement!  Your performance of some of the scarier parts of The Grumpuss raised gooseflesh on my arms.  And when we talked about your preparations for the Blenheim Palace performance, you made it so real that I almost had pre-performance "butterflies"!  I could see the audience troop in, as the finishing touches were put on the set and you prepared to bring the Grumpuss to life—with minimal prep time beforehand and a looming deadline for taping.  You made me feel the excitement when everything came together seamlessly.

If this works with your schedule, I'm looking forward to a future interview in which we can introduce the listeners to a few assorted Krimms, Oddwoks, and Twaddles.  Let me know!

Take care,

Dot Cannon
