Just a few miles off the Thailand coast, the island of Kothau looks like a postcard.

Listen to Death Island every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I am all in.

I am Allen with Scott Patterson and I Heart Radio Podcast.

I am Scott Patterson. This is the I am Allen podcast one on one interview, one on one productions, I Heart Radio.

I mean, I met my wife who's really good friends with her.
