We thought now might be a good time to revive our little local podcast. Our first episode back is Part 1 of an interview with Shannon's friends Mario and Gerry, who left on what was supposed to be a birthday cruise and ended up in quarantine at Travis Air Force Base. Now that they're both home with a clean bill of health, they're sharing their story with the Only in Fairfax podcast!
