Journey lead singer Arnel Pineda joins us from his home in the Phillippines!

In this special throwback episode we're going back to Burke's conversation with Arnel Pineda! Filipino singer Arnel Pineda landed his dream job as the lead vocalist for the iconic band Journey after someone sent the band a YouTube video of Arnel belting out a Journey hit in a karaoke bar.  He was soon given an audition for the job, and the rest is history. Now, 14 years later, Arnel continues in his role with Journey, while also pursuing an active solo career. And, due to the pandemic, he's able to spend lots more time with his wife and children at their home in the Philipines. We have a great transcontinental chat with Arnel, a humble, gracious guest on this edition of the Big Time Talker podcast, powered by our friends at Speakermatch.com.
