Before we kick into the official first episode, I wanted to catch you up on where I’ve been for the past eight months, why I left The Edge after nearly two decades, and what’s been going on in my life — the good, the bad, and the flu. From finding my feet without a daily radio show to learning te reo, dealing with loss, and MORE… It’s been a ride. Think of this as Episode Zero — a little life update, a little bit of honesty, and a whole lot of ‘escaping the shit show’ together.
