Two Guys and a Pint
TGaaP is a podcast focused on the town of Newtown CT. Brian and Gavin are long-term Newtown residents who discuss relevant issues that impact Newtown. Brian and Gavin strive to incorporate national topics and their impact as they trickle down to Newtown in every episode. They focus on engaging any and all opinions and strive to find common ground by respecting and focusing on truth and integrity. The podcast is recorded at the bar in a private “Irish Pub” called The Black Beard, so a pint of Guinness with a guest is always offered. Slainte!
