This episode is receiving it’s first and only audio upgrade, it’s now 100% complete and far more listenable. Kathy is one of the most frequent Classic LoveLine guests, even appearing on the final episode in 2016. Kathy is promoting her new MTV show and proves to be a delight, despite an early call from “Nicole” who calls several more times after this and some goofy poetry from another caller. Solid episode that sounds better than it’s ever been since it originally aired.
