  • A story teller worthy of world recognition

    I have been listening to BJ for more than eight years. He has kept me company on my two hour daily commute. The ability for him to modulate his voice, taking on each character in an different voice brings the stories to life. If you have not listened to him, give it a try you will become hooked as I have.
