91a Darren Pincini

Andy and I encourage listeners to contact us so we can share their story or talk about issues of interest within the industry. When Darren came to me with his story I really didn’t know what to do with it. It’s an important story thar sends a strong message. It’s funny in places and confronting in others. We didn’t want this story to be drowned out by the rest of our show so we opted to give it its own special. Thanks for sharing your story with us Darren.
