Hello everyone! This episode should have been released around Easter weekend. However, our Grandmother passed away unexpectedly and that took some time to recover from. I think it's safe to say I'm okay now and can be back in the studio interviewing more guests! (incomplete edit)

Hi everyone!!! Having been a student here at ODU for the past few years, I wanted to officially meet the President of our school. He's really down to earth, and easy to speak with. When he's not acting as an ambassador for the campus, you can find him among a crowd. Most people don't realize who he is until they see him on stage at events! If you guys would like to read up on him some more, you can search his name, John Broderick. Thanks for listening!!

Today we interview with world traveled musician Lao Tizer!!
I've followed his music for a decade now, beginning back in elementary school. My family was able to go to a local concert of his, and brought a CD home. Years later, I'm scrolling Facebook and see that the band is on tour! I messaged asking when he'd come to the Norfolk area...and he added us to his tour! This interview was the was a great opportunity to get to know him a bit more than through a digital post. Enjoy! Find him anywhere:
