"It was an absolute pleasure and a blast to appear on The Long Island Sound podcast with Stephen Yusko. Steve is a great guy and makes his interviews sound like a regular conversation rather than sounding like a Q & A session. He is very intuitive and knows how to bring out the best in all his guests, plus he has a cool, laid back demeanor which makes you want to engage with him. I would do his podcast again in a heartbeat!"
