Summary

I continue with stories from my career. On this episode I share memories from my various broadcast partners beginning in 1988 and I first worked with Ted Green. I have been blessed to work with some great people and give you insight on what it was like for me. I also talk about going overseas with the team and some great stories from those trips as well. Finally, I talk about what it was like being on the radio every day during the Kings relocation saga. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
