Mark Elliot: Maybe you’ve heard Victor’s radio show before. You’ve heard him but have you seen him? Victor, you’re probably on billboards all over the New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas, right? New York City, you’re there. Time Square.

Victor Medina: I think today’s billboards are probably going to be on my YouTube channel. I think that’s the only thing that anyone is staring at these days. I don’t know anybody that’s looking at billboards any longer.

Mark: I will say though, that people might have seen you as the local director of the a cappella group.

Victor: Oh my goodness, you didn’t warn me that you were going to embarrass me this way off of it. Yeah, one of the things that I do for fun is I’m the musical director of local a cappella group, which is great because I will tell you, what we do for fun is every Wednesday, we start singing at 7:30 at somebody’s house in the area.

Everyone’s from general Mercer county, New Jersey area, so we meet at somebody’s house at 7:30. We sing from 7:30 to 10:00 and then we drink wine and eat cheese until we get kicked out of that person’s house from 10 o’clock on. It’s really a cover for being able to hang out with some great people and I just have the privilege of leading talented musicians. A lot of fun.

Mark: I will tell you, one of my favorite movies of all time, and there’s like three of them, “Pitch Perfect,” Anna Kendrick. That’s what you do…

Victor: …the musical director that was on it, this guy named Deke Sharon, who actually went to my college New England Conservatory of Music and somebody that I knew personally. He’s somebody that’s sent arrangements to my a cappella group called, “Jersey Transit,” which is a cool connection that that music made it to Hollywood movie level.

They had TV shows called “The Sing-Off.” It’s cool to watch somebody that I went to college with turn that into something that’s almost mainstream accepted.

Mark: Yeah, absolutely. Well, that’s cool. That’s what we’re going to talk about. We’re going to get to know Victor a little bit because I think it’s important that we do a radio show. We’re talking about retirement, we’re talking about some of the challenges, some of the what ifs.

What if this happens? What if that happens? How are we going to handle it?
