NO EPISODES for a bit - The condo unit above mine had a dishwasher malfunction while the unit was vacant. It was running for hours unnoticed which caused flood damage into my unit's walls and ceilings. My entire kitchen and surrounding area needed to be ripped out and replaced. There was some asbestos found in the ceiling which means my girlfriend and I have been displaced for 2 months and counting (staying with family), so I've been unable to work ahead long enough to record episodes for an indefinite amount of time. In the days before moving out, I was able to record 3 episodes that got me through May 1st. My goal with this show was to be at least consistent with episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month for at least a year and this has thrown a major wrench into that. Life's an adventure and condos are dumb!

Tomorrow, 5/1, meteorologist Don Slater takes it all the way back to the beginning of his time at WAVY TV 10. 40 years later and he is a Hampton Roads ICON. When I tell people I work at WAVY, the most asked question is “Do you know Don Slater?” Yes, I do, and tomorrow you can too!

Have you listened to the latest episode yet with Phil Smage? When I was faced with one of the scariest things in my own life, I turned to a few of the people who I knew had faced countless scary things and overcame them in their lives - Smagical was at the top of that list! In the episode we talk about when he, Travis Pastrana, Brandon Schmidt, Kody Kamm, Troy Smallz, and Gregg Duffy shaved my head before starting chemo.

NEW EPISODE out now!

Link below!!
Note: Due to technical difficulties and my house being full of dehumidifiers to mitigate some flooding from my upstairs neighbor, my audio sounds a little rough - but Smagical's sounds great! I've done my best to work around it but please don't let that deter you from being inspired by Phil's story!
