Episode #61 Flashback to 2012 with Jerry Trupiano
Former Red Sox Radio Broadcaster Jerry Trupiano was a big inspiration in my career. When Jerry got the Red Sox gig, I immediately fell in love with his style. He was always himself on the air, and that was something I always believed in doing. He probably doesn't realize how much he helped me.
Enjoy this interview from 2012. I was hosting a weekly show in Portland, Maine on 96.3 FM.
