Podcast Interview with SparkPeople Founder

Members Called In to Talk with Chris

-- By SparkPeople

SparkPeople's founder, Chris Downie, did a live interview with Debbie Alan of www.OnTheHomeStretch.com, which included calls from a handful of very excited members. You can listen to the show below; just click the interview links. The interview is broken up into three parts (the final four minutes of each section are messages from the sponsors of the podcast).

Additionally, there was a special follow up interview with SparkPeople member MRSHONEYC, who has lost over 60 pounds and 16 sizes with SparkPeople.

We were thrilled with the positive response from the Community members who called in. We'll be sure to get the word out earlier next time, so everyone can have a chance to call in!

Where's the transcript of the interview? There are SP members who choose not to listen, or can't listen, especially at work or in an open environment., or who have a hearing impairment. Please share this with the rest of us!!!! - 6/3/2012 5:36:05 PM

I hope Chris goes on some talk shows like "Ellen" and TALKS about SP, instead of just having it mentioned in quick passing!
In fact, a 30 minute INFOMERCIAL would be a great idea. - 8/3/2008 12:45:43 AM

I have been SParking since 1/27/08. I've lost 45 pounds and 5 sizes, and I feel like I've been given my life back. I am using SP to change other aspects of my life as well, and cannot even begin to tell you what an amazing difference it has made.

There are no words good enough to say thank you as deeply as it is felt. Thank you! - 7/10/2008 9:54:06 AM

I have never been happier. Finding SparkPeople has been a blessing. I' ve only been here 3 months and lost 6 lbs 'quit smoking and had surgery. I can't wait til I can start to exercise again. The nutrition tracker is such an eyeopener and the people you meet. They are wonderful. There is so much info and support you cannot fail. It is the first time I've gotten it ,that you have to change your whole life for life. Not just a season or a certain weight. Thanks Chris for giving the greatest gift to so many people. - 7/8/2008 8:33:41 PM
