Legacy Matters

Sam Devine - Kate Westfall - Marc Dickhutwww.legacymatterspodcast.com
One of our guests suggested we change the name of the show to more accurately convey what it is we do. Her suggestion was "Four People Talking at a Table". That does pretty much sum it up! Legacy Matters has proven that conversations are still important. On our show, we the hosts do no research on the guests we invite to be a part of our show. Every two weeks we sit down with a stranger and learn their story. We ask questions, sometimes serious and sometimes silly, as we get to know these strangers and start down the road to friendship. Everyone has a legacy! Join Sam, Marc and Kate every two weeks for another amazing episode of Legacy Matters!
