  • I was Hooked

    Brian is excellent. This is a great podcast! Having been a lover of Hip Hop Rap since the mid-80s, of course I needed to follow the Diddy trial. Brian’s lead up (season 1) to the trial was thorough and captivating! His trial coverage? Excellent. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Brian!
