This first full episode of the podcast features Part 1 of a 2-part guest interview with Brad Koepenick, a producer of the "Val" documentary and a lifelong friend of Val. Gayla and Frank talk with Brad about his friendship with Val, their antics together, and their passion for Citizen Twain and the Arts, Education, and Literacy. 

Brad has irresistible energy, creativity, and wit! This makes listening to him fun and fascinating. Like Val, Brad is candid and generous in sharing his experiences, wisdom, and zest for life. Enjoy!
