Doing this show for over two years, I’ve had the chance to interview a lot of great folks. My guest this past Thursday was one of my favorites. It’s known that I’m a huge Baltimore Ravens fan. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Ray Rice for an hour. I haven’t had the chance to talk to many Super Bowl champions. The former All Pro running back takes a stroll down memory lane of Super Bowl 47, talks about the state of the current Ravens, and what he is up to today. Enjoy!

This episode ended up being a lot deeper than I’d imagined. And for good reason. Most of Baltimore knows Lennie as Lenwood. He has been in the Baltimore hip hop scene for a long time. When he isn’t writing or rapping, he’s building his clothing line DontBeYo. His line specializes in Baltimore specific designs and slogans with colorful styles. His impact is felt in the community for more than just music and clothing. Lennie is a behavioral specialist in the Baltimore City Public School System. You don’t want to miss this.

Guest hosted by a good friend of mine, Bamz. Enjoy!

Welcome back folks! Been a hectic few weeks. Cranking out live shows and balancing life has been a task. Recently, I had the fortunate chance to sit down with longtime Baltimore media personality and content creator Glenn Clark.

Fast forward to present day, Glenn hosts a myriad of different content creation platforms and is a Baltimore sports beat writer for PressBox. He is one of the hardest working sports media members in the city. Tune in as we talk about the Ravens, Orioles, and the plight of his former boss Nestor Aparicio and the Baltimore Ravens organization.
