This was the very first live broadcast episode of the show and it was not without some technical issues, such as some knob end resetting the internet in my office mid-broadcast.

Thankfully, my guest Jeremy Nicholas is a very experienced and skilled speaker and was able to keep the show going by sharing a story about interviewing the late actor Christopher Lee, perhaps best known for his appearances as Dracula. The story alone is worth checking out this episode but also Jeremy shares plenty of great information and insights. 

You also get to see me doing my best to recover my composure and spending the rest of the interview worried my connection was going to crap out again! Anyhow... when the stuff you worry about actually happens, you just deal with it and get on with the show.
