In honor of January being National Blood Donor Month, this week’s conversation is with guest Bill Borkowski, who has been a lifelong blood donor and as of our recording with him, has donated over 20 gallons of blood through the years.  Plus, this super-hero octogenarian has no intentions of slowing down!

Bill shares how he first got involved with donating blood in the 1970’s, how the entire process has improved since he first began donating, why he makes blood donation a priority for himself and he walks us through the entire screening and donating process.  With blood supplies at their lowest in over ten years, if you’re eligible to donate blood and save lives, you're needed now more than ever and Bill is wonderful motivation to get and stay involved.  #NationalBloodDonorMonth, #NBDM, #ADRP #RedCross

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
