<p>&ldquo;Pod People,&rdquo; hosted by Classy 100&rsquo;s Program Director and afternoon host Vinny Marino features conversations. Vinny will spend 15 minutes or so chatting with celebrities, musicians, authors, and even some regular folks. Vinny says, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been doing interviews for 35 years, but on the radio you have a very limited time to actually speak with someone. You have to get in the music and those commercials so, if you&rsquo;re lucky, you&rsquo;ll have maybe one to two minutes for the interview. This podcast allows me and my guest to really stretch out and have an actual conversation. Nothing beats that.&rdquo; This is perfect for the guests too since they usually only do interviews when they have something to promote so you never really get to know them. Most famous people have interests outside of their career and &ldquo;Pod People&rdquo; gives them the chance to express those things.&nbsp;</p>
