I wanted to say how sad I am, how much we miss her and how grateful we are for her contributions to the industry. Our deepest condolences to her family. I wanted to say how much we appreciated her support of Beet.TV and her lively and informative participation in several Beet executive retreats. Note: This video was our last interview with Radha.
