- Larry Dossey, M.D. (The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things)
"Jo Davidson's got the action, she's got the music, the girl can do it all!"
- Candace Pert, PhD (The Molecules of Emotion).
"I love what you are doing. Your listeners are lucky to have you!"
- Martha Beck, Columnist for O, The Oprah Magazine
"Jo Davidson is a healing voice across the airwaves. She presents information that is both inspiring and rock-solid useful, and her butter-rum voice and solid insights make her a pleasure to listen to."
- Victoria Moran, Author of "Creating a Charmed Life."
"Jo Davidson is one of the finest interviewers I have ever encountered. Her soft, conversational style is beautifully enhanced by her heartful, wise, insightful questions. She offers love and healing in a world that desperately needs both."

"Jo Davidson is a joy to be interviewed by!"

" "Alluring, feisty and poignant."

"I have learned something from Anna Quindlen's spirit which jumps off the page and stage, just as I have from Davidson's. If my daughter grows up to be like Quindlen or Davidson, I'll be happy, because I think she'd be happy, because that would mean that she's out there, fighting to be understood."
- Jim Walsh, pop music critic, Minneapolis
"Honest, polished and bold. Davidson approaches the listener as a friend, not the enemy or the accuser, which makes for happy listening."
- Monica Cady, Rag Magazine
"A passionate artist with strong music and plenty to say. "
- Totally Adult/Album Network
