I, for one, will miss the Apple Music voice plan. I drive around all day, and it fits my needs perfectly. What’s more, it’s less than half the price of the traditional Apple Music plan.<br><br>I really enjoy your show. It’s especially nice when Jeff Gammon and Kelly Guimont are on. I used to listen to the daily show on TMO, until it was abruptly ended, so it’s particularly nice to hear their voices. One of these days I’ll listen to your show live.
