What others are saying:

"My book had only been out for a short time, when James Larkin Smith contacted me. He wanted me interview me for his radio program. He had suffered a similar brain injury and experience, found my book inspiring, and thought my message would benefit others.The insight that James shares as a host, makes his program so real and hopeful. Listening to his show is always fun, but it's also educational and insightful. As the boomers age, there are few who will not have been touched themselves with major health challenges. Programming that holds inspiring messages, with a healthy dose of fun, will only grow in demand. James offers years of experience, as well as a loyal following" . - Kim Justus, author of "In a Flash: Miracles Here and Beyond".
"The selection of music on The Morning Coffee Mix is always interesting and eclectic, full of “aha” moments. It’s one of the few shows I can count on to play great music consistently". John Murell (Avid Listener).
"I've listened to James Larken Smith often His radio show is engaging and lively. My only complaint is, it doesn't last long enough, Great job, James!". Patricia Bertrand - Owner of www.aurorisentertainment.com .
"It was a great day when I found The Morning Coffee Mix. James was so cheerful and upbeat and the music was great. Raised by a mom who had parts of her life where her mobility was gone, I learned that James had mobility problems as well as other hiccups in life, yet he is the most upbeat person! There has been so much fun and hilarity associated with the show as the years go by with the show, staff, and his long time compadres and his fans , who are so special. Having met him many times, I am so happy to have stumbled on this great way to start my day. It has been the most wonderful, fun, light-hearted and uplifting radio show imaginable and I am so thankful to have it be a part of my life". Jody Thorne - Long time Listener and virtual world expert.
