Troycast: Influencers Among Us

Erin Miller is back and we discuss our top 5 TV shows of the 90s to wrap up our mini-pod series on the 90s in honor of our 20 year class reunion. 

This episode, we interview Representative Laurie Pohutsky. Laurie is the Representative for District 19 of the Michigan House of Representatives. We discuss her life before, during and after her election to office, as well as some current and future bills and initiatives she has directed and been involved in. 

This episode, Erin Miller and I review what we each think are the top five movies of 1999. We have our 20th high school reunion coming up in a month and thought it would be fun to review this great year of cinema. 

In this episode we speak with journalist, author, sportswriter, Mob historian and podcast host Scott Burnstein. We talk organized crime, Jimmy Hoffa, Martin Scorsese's upcoming movie, "The Irishman," and even go down the high school and college sports rabbit hole for a few minutes near the end.  Check out Scott's "Original Gangsters Podcast," on iTunes. He has some great guests such as "Boston George" Jung and other legends.
