 The 5 with Wendi Cooper

Every podcast has its reason. This podcast has no real reason other than to bring joy, humor, a new point of view, and a really fun way of looking at life. 

Each episode is unique and timeless - so scroll to Episode 1 and binge-listen!  

 Improvisation is a love of mine, so as a Live Host I've learned one better be good at it...add the ability to edit on the fly, and each episode is guaranteed to be spontaneous, make you love, laugh, cry, or open your eyes to finding joy.  

Here's to health and happiness for all humankind.
