Andy Parker has worn numerous hats in life. Professional actor, corporate headhunter, and elected official to name a few. He's also known as a gun-control activist who has appeared countless times in major news outlets, and in 2019 he added “author” to that list, with the publication of “For Alison: The Murder of a Young Journalist and a Father’s Fight for Gun Safety.” With that colorful history comes many backstories from music, theatre, and politics. Some serious, some hilarious, some outrageous, but Andy and his guests are all guaranteed to keep you thinking and engaged.

Two Pissed Off Dads
My second episode involving gun violence publishes on a horrible anniversary. February 14, 2018 is a day as tragic for Fred Guttenberg as it was for me on August 26, 2015.
He and I are a couple of pissed off dads who lost their beautiful daughters to unspeakable gun violence. What follows is a conversation on how we’ve dealt with the aftermath, how we’ve found purpose, and how we learned to live again.

An Unlikely Hero
My next two episodes are a departure from the usual fare as I bring you some serious subject matter.
Witnessing a mass shooting is an experience no one should have. But fate transformed this senior citizen and true badass from a bystander and possible victim into a hero who helped prevent a horrific tragedy from becoming even worse.

Bravo!
These stories are like undiscovered gems, small but interesting aspects of life that we would never know about otherwise. You will certainly learn something from each one. Great job Andy!
