There's another time you can talk to me on the air on Martha Stewart Radio. I'm no longer spending time with Kim & Betsy in the morning on Martha's Channel on Wednesdays (Boo-hoo — I LOVE them so much! Ah well...programming changes.) Anyway, I still have half an hour with Mario on the afternoon show promptly at 1 PM EST to answer your questions. And of course my own show that night at 8 PM EST
