Stirling Soap Script - Maybe you should
This episode is brought to by Stirling Soap Company. How often do you think about your soap? Well, if you answered, ‘not much’ maybe you should.

Now, what if you could buy natural soap made from natural ingredients like tallow, palm oil, coconut oil and scented with essential oils and for just a little more than you’d pay for grocery store soap? Stirling Soap is 100 percent natural and with a wide variety of bath soaps, shave soaps, beard balm, lotions, and cologne there’s a product and a scent for just about everybody.

STEVE WHITE BIO
The host of 'This DiSH' is me, Steve White. I've spent most of my life behind a microphone. As a kid, I realized the power of the spoken word, hanging out with my dad while we talked to people around the world via ham radio. Later, I put that penchant for communication into practice and ventured into radio and TV. I've worked for a few television stations in North Carolina doing sports reporting and anchoring before transitioning to voiceover in 2015.
'This Day in Sports History' evolved from a lifetime of watching, listening to, and going to ballgames, reading books, magazines, and newspaper articles about my favorite teams and sports heroes. It's not only a labor of love but a voyage of discovery, finding those forgotten tidbits or fascinating things I never knew.
