The Verbally Disastrous Podcast With Leslie M. Jasper (Guest Co-Host Melissa Polito)

Leslie M. Jasperconstructiontales.com
My name is Leslie M. Jasper and I am the author of the book #ConstructionTales & host of The Verbally Disastrous Podcast on Spotify. My occasional bestiee/ co-host Melissa Polito and I will cover a wide array of topics. Some episodes are random thoughts as two independent career women. Be prepared for disastrous exchanges between two foul truck driver mouths along with like-minded special guests. Recently, I've opted to work on offering construction related safety content since I'm a NYC site safety manager.
