Pull up a Muskoka chair and a huge box of Kleenex because this week’s episode is dedicated to birthday girl Danita and two of her all-time faves: Bette Midler and BEACHES. Listen in as Danita looks back on her lifelong relationship with the Divine Miss M, including a devastating childhood story involving a VHS tape, an autograph, and a couple of extra 'D's (!).
