Hey it's me, James Stacy, and this episode of Hodinky Radio features a really fun chat with the hilarious and talented Sarah Miller, one of Hodinkies excellent contributors and Nick Marino, Hodinkies SVP of content, aka My Boss. Beginning in the spring of 2021,

Sarah started a wonderful series for the site all about being new to the watch world,

celebrity profiles for Lucky.

I did that sort of for about two years.

the Philadelphia Gay News.

And I think I sort of became a generalist there
