Wow, who knew? I was very impressed with this podcast. I don't know how quickly SaVoa will catch on, or if it even will, but it seems to me that if it does, it will separate the pros from the amateurs. I think it's a great idea, but again, I'm not sure it's going to make it. It's like trying to take control of a situation that is already completely out of control... I wish them luck.

Hooray again for Voices.com for getting the word out about this professional organization!! I've been a member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) for many years, and can't tell you how it improved my standing in the industry. In fact, some editors ONLY hired writers who were in that organization, first, because it was difficult to get into, and second, you were pre-approved as a bona fide travel writer with high ethical standards. I'm hoping this is what SaVoa will become. I've already e-mailed them my application. I hope they get hundreds more from your podcast!

Thanks again!
