It all started with a Hitachi cassette player. With a built in microphone, I would host my own radio shows, complete with ads, music, interviews, and more.Little did I know that this childhood passion would blossom into a love of radio broadcasting. So, when podcasting came along, I was over the moon.Check out my current and past podcast adventures below. And maybe you can subscribe to 'Last Night I Watched...' while you're at it.
Last Night I Watched...
With so many streaming services, what should you watch next? Hell, you won't find the answer on this podcast. But you will find honest, unfiltered, candid film reviews of whatever I stumble across. Maybe you'll find a hidden gem. Maybe you'll find a steaming turd. Join me on this random film journey across cyberspace, which you certainly leave you with something to talk about when you utter the phrase: "Last night, I watched..."
