  • Tony Tardio & Woody are Legends.

    Stumbled across this podcast at about Episode 65 and have loved it ever since. So much so that I have gone back and listened to each episode from episode 1. I’m still going at Ep 44.I just love Tony’s personality, his values, his voice is like velvet chocolate and his wisdom. Further his origins are the same as mine. San Marco In Lamis.
