  • One of the Greats

    I will always have a special place in my heart to Easy Allies, even if most of their members have moved on to other things. I thought Daniel Bloodworth was a great host, so seeing him move on an Huber taking over is bittersweet but I am happy for him. It doesn’t seem like they are able to pay the bills these days so I don’t know how much longer it will last, but I will continue to be a listener to the end.
