About this listen

In episode 14 of Blew-ish , I have the incredible opportunity to introduce you to my 96 year-old grandpa Al! We dive into his childhood memories in Cleveland, Ohio, the harrowing story of a childhood friend encountering a live wire, his time at East Technical High School, brief stint at Kent State, and decision to join the Air Force. Grandpa Al shares insightful tales of his service, including meeting and falling in love with a certain Kappa Sweetheart during a stop in Topeka. We reflect on historical events, social dynamics, and the keys to a long-lasting marriage. To wrap it up, we encourage everyone to listen to a saxophonist extraordinaire.

Papa was a lil sleepy and reserved this episode 😂 So stay tuned for more history in our next episode!
