Summary
On today's show Richie interviews...The Missus! Yes! She has been namechecked thousands of times on the show but Caroline or "El Froggo" as she has become known to Richie's listeners, has never appeared on the show. This is the first time she has ever been interviewed.
She is a remarkable woman. As a teenager she played national schools basketball while playing clarinet in a philharmonic orchestra. She also ran a successful bar in Spain for several years. These days she is an accountant for a commercial bank.
Caroline's passion is studying and researching philosophers - historical and latter day - who delve into the origins of human existence. Why are we here? Where did we come from? Where are we going? Caroline shares her own personal experiences as a way of explaining what she has come to believe. This is a fascinating and soulful conversation. And yes, there will be a part two.
