Bonus: Guest Spot on "Stand Up with Pete Dominick, Episode 750"

Barry had the opportunity to spend some time with the man who introduced him to podcasting, comedian Pete Dominick. For a dozen years, Pete hosted a fabulous public affairs show on Sirius XM Radio. His unique and humorous perspective on current events coupled with his great long-form interviews made this Barry's primary source of news for many years. In October 2019, Sirius XM made the awful decision not to renew his contract, due in large part to his resistance to the rehiring of Steve Bannon as a Sirius XM host.  With nowhere else to turn, Pete started his own daily podcast, relying on subscribers as his sole source of income. Shortly afterwards, the COVID-19 pandemic afforded Pete the opportunity to create a weekly social hangout for subscribers. This quickly became an important means of connection for people isolated during the pandemic. This community quickly became a new group of virtual friends from all across the country. As the world has reopened from the pandemic, many of those newfound friends have met in person. Our podcast has benefited greatly from this community. We have had a number of guests from among the many musicians in this community, and you can spend some time with our new friends, including Jon Carroll, Matt Carlson, and Nick Martino in these episodes: Bonus: A Christmas Day's Eve!
